The Role
Watling Academy is looking for an organised, proactive and enthusiastic Administrator to provide vital support to our students, staff, and visitors. With our first cohort of students sitting exams next summer, there’s never been a more exciting time to join us!
This isn’t your average admin role. From being a part of managing key events like exams and student photos to being the friendly face welcoming visitors, you’ll be at the heart of our school community. You’ll play a pivotal part in ensuring everything runs smoothly—your efforts will directly impact the daily experience of our staff and students.
We’re looking for someone who thrives in a busy environment, loves variety in their work and takes pride in getting the details right. Whether it’s managing data, supporting communication with parents, or helping staff with day-to-day needs, you’ll enjoy seeing how your hard work makes a real difference.
If you have strong technology skills, are highly organised, and a natural communicator who enjoys working as part of a team, we want to hear from you. Experience in education is great but not essential—what matters most is your enthusiasm, initiative and ability to adapt.
