Although the job title is 'Administration Assistant’, this does not really cover the role accurately. You will need to be superb at multi-tasking, adept at prioritising & someone that does not mind interruptions and dealing with matters as they arise at short notice to support the children, staff or parents, whilst answering the phone, dealing with queries & writing a school newsletter. If this does not faze you and you are willing to go above and beyond, then this is the job for you!
As a School Assistant Administrator you will be working at the heart of our school. You are essential for good communication and relationships with all our stakeholders; being a people person and good communicator is essential, whilst maintaining professionalism and upholding the school’s values.
Experience of working in a school office and knowledge of packages like ParentPay & Arbor/SIMs is desirable but not essential. You will need a good telephone manner, proficient ICT skills and excellent English language, spelling and grammar.
In return we can offer:
- A people first approach, ensuring that you feel part of our community
- Enhanced opportunities for collaborative working as part of a dynamic and highly successful Multi Academy Trust
- Excellent career and CPD opportunities
- A commitment to constantly review and improve our family friendly policies and look for new and innovative way to aid and support our staff in achieving a healthy work/life balance
- Employee benefits package
