About the Job
The School Administrator takes full operational ownership of the administrative systems serving both LCH and LCS. The role ensures that learner and school records are complete, accurate and secure; all administrative compliance requirements and reporting deadlines are proactively managed; and school information is reliable and readily available for decision-making, accountability and continuous improvement.
