What skills and experience we're looking for
At Beck Primary School, no two days are ever the same. As one of the largest primary schools in the area, we are looking for an organised, proactive and approachable Administrator to join our friendly and busy office team.
This is a varied role at the heart of the school, providing essential support to pupils, families, staff and visitors. From admissions and pupil records to reception duties, recruitment administration and maintaining key school systems, you will help ensure the smooth day-to-day running of our school.
We are looking for someone who:
- Has excellent organisational and administrative skills.
- Can manage a varied workload and prioritise effectively.
- Has strong IT skills and is confident using management information systems (experience of Arbor would be an advantage).
- Enjoys working with people and providing excellent customer service.
- Has a keen eye for detail and understands the importance of accuracy and confidentiality.
- Works well both independently and as part of a team.
- Communicates confidently and builds positive relationships with a wide range of people.
- Uses initiative, takes responsibility and knows when to seek guidance.
- Remains calm when things don't go to plan - because, in a school, they sometimes won't!
- Shares our high expectations and genuinely wants to contribute to making Beck better.
The successful candidate will support a range of school processes including admissions, pupil transfers, Free School Meals administration, recruitment administration, reception duties, website updates, maintaining pupil records and providing support to colleagues using school information systems.
You don't need to know the answer to every question on day one. What matters is having strong administrative skills, a willingness to learn and the confidence to ask questions, seek support and find the right information when needed.
This could be the role for you if...
You are already working in school administration and are ready to take on a wider range of
responsibilities, or you have strong administrative experience and are looking for an opportunity to make a real difference in a school community.
