We are seeking a resourceful, energetic, and experienced Administration and Welfare Manager to anchor the operational and pastoral heartbeat of our international school in Ilorin. In a dual-model educational environment (Day and Boarding), success is defined by "Holistic Operational Excellence", the ability to harmonize complex administrative logistics with the sensitive welfare needs of a diverse student body.

Your mission is to ensure "Seamless Administrative Functionality and the Highest Standards of Student Wellbeing."

• Residential Stewardship: Act as the primary guardian of the boarding scholars' welfare, overseeing dormitory life, nutritional standards, and social integration.

• Health & Safety Oversight: Coordinate with the medical and security teams to ensure a secure, healthy environment, managing welfare protocols for both day and boarding students.

• Conflict Resolution: Serve as a mentor and mediator, addressing student grievances and behavioral challenges with a firm yet empathetic pastoral approach.

3. Team Leadership & Community Engagement

• Support Staff Management: Lead and coordinate non-academic staff (house parents, cleaners, drivers, and security) to ensure they align with the school’s core values and welfare standards.

• Parental Diplomacy: Act as a key bridge between the school and parents regarding welfare issues, providing professional and reassuring communication.

• Emergency Coordination: Lead the on-site response to any operational or welfare emergencies, leveraging your residential presence for immediate intervention.
