What skills and experience we're looking for
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an experienced administrator to join a supportive team who work collaboratively to contribute to the continued success of the school. We are seeking to appoint an Administration Assistant to provide support with all aspects of school administration.
Key responsibilities will include providing administrative support for a variety of areas including departments, pastoral leaders and senior management; the administration of school trips and events; as well as support for our front of house areas. Liaising with school staff and external parties as appropriate will also be an important part of this busy and varied role. You may also be required, on occasion, to assist with any other relevant duties which might include helping to support school events or whole school administrative tasks.
We are looking for a proactive individual with a ‘can do’ attitude and the ability to help identify improved systems within our school operations as well as assist in the smooth running of our established processes. Responsibilities will not be restricted to those listed above and the right candidate will require a high level of flexibility.
The successful candidate will also have:
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Ability to work to deadlines
- Experience using Microsoft Office including Word and Excel
- Highly organised, accurate and detail conscious work ethic
- Ability to use discretion and respect confidentiality
Experience of working with SIMS (or other education MIS) would be beneficial but training can be provided. A knowledge and understanding of the education sector and/or experience of working within a school environment or other busy office environment would be desirable.

In addition, we offer:
- A generous pension scheme for support staff
