We are a small, independent international school in Sønderborg with students from Year 1 to Year 10. Our school community includes families and staff from many different countries and backgrounds, and English is the main language of communication at the school. 

The School Secretary plays a central role in the daily administration and operation of the school. We are therefore looking for someone who understands the Danish school system, is familiar with the administrative requirements and systems relevant to a friskole, and can take responsibility for a broad range of administrative tasks. 

The position requires someone who can work independently, manage responsibilities with a high degree of accuracy, and work closely and flexibly with the Headteacher.

• Administration of school fees, invoicing and follow-up on payments. 

• Administrative support for the School Board, including sending meeting invitations and distributing minutes and other relevant documentation. 

• Administration of user accounts, internet access credentials and access to the school’s IT systems. 

• Filing, documentation and general administrative tasks. 

• Providing administrative support to the Headteacher and contributing to the effective daily operation of the school. 

Payroll, bookkeeping and the administration of employment contracts are not part of the position. 

We are looking for someone who 

• Is fluent in Danish and English, both spoken and written. 

• Has a solid understanding of how a Danish friskole operates and is familiar with relevant administrative systems and procedures. 

• Has strong administrative and IT skills. 

• Is highly meticulous and works with a high degree of accuracy. 

• Is able to work independently and take responsibility for their areas of work. 

• Is approachable, professional and service-minded when communicating with families, students, colleagues and external partners. 

• Can organise, prioritise and follow up on administrative processes and deadlines. 

• Understands the importance of confidentiality and discretion in a school environment. 

• Can work closely and flexibly with the Headteacher and contribute constructively to the daily operation and development of the school. 

Previous experience from a school, friskole or similar educational organisation is an advantage, but not a requirement if the candidate has relevant knowledge, experience and competencies. 

The working day starts at 7:30. 

We offer 

• A full-time position with an important and varied role in the daily operation of the school. 

• A diverse and international working environment. 

• Close collaboration with the Headteacher, colleagues, families and the School Board. 

• A position with a high degree of independence and responsibility. 

• The opportunity to play a central role in the administration and continued development of a small international school. 

Salary and employment conditions according to qualifications and applicable agreements.
