At Woods & Co Recruitment, we understand that in education, strong operational and administrative support plays a critical role in keeping schools running smoothly and delivering a high-quality experience for students, families and staff.
That’s why we’ve been proud to support Xavier College, one of Melbourne’s most respected independent schools, with recruitment across key administrative support functions.
For organisations in the education sector, particularly highly regarded institutions, hiring the right support staff requires more than technical capability alone. Professionalism, discretion, communication and strong organisational skills are equally important.
Recruiting quality administrative talent in education can be highly competitive, particularly when roles require candidates who can confidently operate in fast-paced, stakeholder-heavy environments.
Xavier College’s hiring requirements included:
Administrative support recruitment
Personal Assistant recruitment
These roles required candidates with strong organisational capability, excellent communication skills and the professionalism to engage with senior stakeholders, staff, students and families.
As with many support roles, the strongest candidates are often already employed and not actively applying for new opportunities.
Woods & Co took a targeted recruitment approach focused on identifying high-quality support talent from education, professional services and broader stakeholder-facing environments.
Our recruitment process included:
Talent mapping across education, administration and executive support markets
Proactive outreach to passive candidates, not just active job seekers
Detailed screening focused on organisation, communication, professionalism and cultural alignment
Close consultation with Xavier College to understand team structure, role expectations and the broader environment candidates would be entering
Rather than relying solely on job advertisements, we leveraged our broader support services recruitment network to access stronger off-market talent.
Through our partnership with Xavier College, Woods & Co has successfully supported recruitment across:
Administrative support roles
Personal Assistant recruitment
By acting as a genuine recruitment partner rather than simply filling vacancies, we’ve helped Xavier College secure high-quality support talent aligned with both operational needs and the standards expected within a leading educational institution.
Woods & Co supports education, professional services and corporate businesses with specialist recruitment across support and operational functions.
We regularly recruit:
Executive Assistants
Personal Assistants
Administrative professionals
Office Managers
Client Services professionals
Operations support roles
Coordinator positions
If you're looking for a recruitment partner that can access both active and off-market support talent, our team can help.
