The administration staff at Queensland Children's Hospital School pride themselves in providing efficient and professional support to lead, inspire and connect our community.

Working closely with the Business Manager, the HR officer will build and maintain professional relationships with the school leadership team and align the day to day operational requirements with the office staff in a dynamic school office environment.

Queensland Children's Hospital School leads this work and supports 25 sites across Queensland - 6 campuses in Brisbane, 16 campuses across other Regions, and 3 sites as part of the virtual hospital education program - where students who are affected by hospitalisation (or attending a long-term mental health treatment program) can continue in their education and have a seamless transition back to school or onto another learning pathway.

Students may be from Kindy to Year 12 and may be from the state, Catholic or independent sector. Our programs implement the Australian Curriculum, catering for each student's individual needs, and work closely with students' base schools to ensure continuity of education and successful transitions.
