Very cool. I read about the admin type but actually misunderstood the
purpose (I thought it necessarily had to perform some type of administrative
bacula task). I'll give it a try!

No, not necessarily. If I understand you correctly, you'd use two 
admin jobs: One scheduled a minute before the first backup job, the 
other a minute after the last backup. Those admin jobs can execute 
commands like regular jobs - that's their main purpose - and if you 
set the priority numerically lower and higher, respectively, than the 
backup jobs, the order should be correct.
