# Secretary – GEMS Education

This Secretary role sits inside a GEMS Education school, supporting the day-to-day running of the school office. GEMS operates a large network of private schools across the UAE, and every one of those schools depends on a well-run front office to keep communication flowing between staff, parents, students, and the wider GEMS Corporate Office. That is the core of this role.

Day to day, the job involves managing correspondence and communication in and out of the school office, handling calls and queries from parents and visitors with tact and professionalism, generating and processing the daily administrative paperwork a school runs on – attendance records, circulars, correspondence files – and acting as a calm, organized point of contact when the office gets busy, which in a school setting can be often. The role also means consistently representing the GEMS Core Values in every interaction, since the school office is frequently the first point of contact a parent has with the school.

This is a role for someone naturally organized, discreet, and good with people under pressure – a parent calling with a concern, a staff member needing something urgently, and a courier all arriving at once is a normal Tuesday in a school office.

This suits someone who takes pride in running a tight, professional front office and enjoys being the reliable hub that keeps a school’s daily operations moving smoothly.

## Requirements

- Previous experience in an administrative, secretarial, or office support role, ideally within an education or school setting

- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English

- Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple requests and deadlines at once

- Tact and diplomacy when handling sensitive communication with parents, staff, and leadership

- Proficiency in standard office software (word processing, email, basic spreadsheets)

- Professional, approachable manner suited to being a school’s first point of contact

- Discretion when handling confidential student, staff, or family information
