St Andrew's are looking for a dedicated and adaptable Administration Assistant to undertake this crucial role at the heart of the school. The post is for 22.5 hours, with a working pattern of 8.00am to 12.30pm Monday to Friday.
School offices have changed significantly in recent years and this busy role supports and weaves together all elements of school life including day to day office administration, data management, record keeping, communications with parents and supporting premises management to name but a few!

The successful candidate will thrive within the fast paced nature of this challenging yet rewarding role, being able to efficiently juggle many different and sometimes unexpected tasks. And then start again the next day with equal amounts of enthusiasm!
Applicants will be able to confidently demonstrate experience of excellent administration, ICT and financial skills. Previous experience within schools may be an advantage but is not essential as full training can be provided.

Driven by our Christian vision of “growing together”, we are a highly inclusive school.

Children at our school develop their unique character with the support and guidance of the staff, their families and our church.
