Administrative Officer Job in Angul, Odisha | School Vacancy
Role Summary
Delhi Public School - Nalco is looking for a dynamic Administrative Officer to lead the operational backbone of the school. This is a hands-on leadership role where you will oversee day-to-day administration, coordinate with departments, and ensure smooth functioning across all wings of the school. Your decisions will directly impact the efficiency of the institution and the experience of students, staff, and parents. This is not a teaching position but a strategic administrative role where leadership and problem-solving are key.
As the Administrative Officer, you will manage the administrative team, streamline processes, and maintain compliance with school policies and government norms. You will act as the bridge between the school management, faculty, support staff, and external agencies. This role demands a proactive mindset, strong communication skills, and the ability to work under pressure during peak academic and event periods.
Day-to-Day Duties
You will oversee the preparation and maintenance of all official school records, registers, and documentation, ensuring accuracy and timely submission to authorities. This includes student attendance records, staff attendance, leave management, and academic year planning. You will coordinate with the accounts department to ensure timely payment of salaries, vendor bills, and other financial obligations.
Managing the front office and reception area is part of your responsibility, including handling visitor inquiries, managing incoming and outgoing correspondence, and maintaining confidentiality of sensitive information. You will supervise the administrative staff, assign duties, conduct performance reviews, and ensure adherence to school timings and protocols.
Organizing school events, examinations, parent-teacher meetings, and inter-school competitions falls under your purview. You will work closely with the principal and coordinators to plan logistics, allocate resources, and ensure seamless execution. You will also handle procurement of stationery, uniforms, and other operational materials within the approved budget.
Required Qualifications
You must be a postgraduate in any discipline with a minimum of three years of experience in school administration or a similar administrative role in an educational institution. Prior experience in managing teams, coordinating events, and handling documentation is essential. Familiarity with school management software and government reporting requirements is desirable.
While teaching qualifications like B.Ed or D.El.Ed are not required for this role, awareness of educational systems and child-centric processes will help you align administrative functions with academic goals. Experience in a reputed school or educational group in Odisha will be an added advantage.
Your Growth Path
At Delhi Public School - Nalco, we invest in your professional development and career progression. You will receive on-the-job training in school administration, leadership, and policy implementation. Opportunities to attend workshops on school management, financial planning, and human resource management will be provided.
With consistent performance, you can grow into roles such as Senior Administrative Officer, Coordinator of Operations, or even move into school leadership positions over time. The school encourages internal mobility and supports candidates who show initiative and leadership potential. Long-term growth includes leading larger administrative teams or overseeing multiple school operations.
Perks and Pay
This full-time position offers a salary between Rs.20,000 and Rs.40,000 per month, commensurate with experience and qualifications. You will receive benefits such as health insurance, paid leave, and access to school facilities during non-working hours.

The role includes stable working hours with occasional evening or weekend commitments during events or examinations. The school values work-life balance and offers support for professional certifications related to administration and management.
