Make a Real Difference at Bure Park Specialist Academy

Come and join our growing team at Bure Park Specialist Academy and be part of the successful Broad Horizons Education Trust.

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, motivated, and dedicated Administrator with Timetabling Responsibilities to join us at our school in Great Yarmouth. Bure Park is a residential special school for boys aged 6-16 with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) difficulties. We are proud of our Ofsted 'Good' rating, with our residential provision rated 'Outstanding'.

Our school shares the vision of our Trust: improving the life chances of all pupils has to be at the heart of all we do. To achieve this, we firmly believe in valuing and championing every member of staff. This is an exciting opportunity to join an exceptional team who strive to establish the highest standards and play a fundamental role in changing children’s lives.

The Role

The school office is a busy, fast-paced environment, and this post is vital to the smooth daily running of the school. Operating from 7:30am each morning, you will be the engine room of our daily operations—managing timetables, coordinating daily cover, and ensuring staffing allocations seamlessly support our pupils.

Key Responsibilities:

• Timetable Management: Populate, maintain, and update master, break, lunch, and specialist pathway (Bridge and Satellite) timetables using master versions created by senior leaders.

• Daily Cover & Absence: Receive daily absence details, coordinate internal and external supply agency cover, and add daily absences to whole-school briefing slides.

• Operational Coordination: Work closely with SLT, teaching and residential staff, on-call teams, and office management (including matching timetables with transport requirements).

• Safeguarding & Pupil Welfare: Ensure cover arrangements cater to the specific supervision and SEMH needs of our pupils, escalating any staffing shortages that could compromise safety.

• Clear Communication: Inform affected staff promptly of schedule changes throughout the day while maintaining accurate records and document version control.

About You

Personal qualities are of paramount importance. We are looking for an individual who displays enthusiasm, energy, good humour, flexibility, and reliability, alongside the ability to manage multiple workstreams without losing sight of the finer details.

Essential Requirements:

• Proven experience in an administrative, clerical, or coordination role.

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to prioritise effectively in a fast-paced setting.

• Good general ICT skills (word processing, spreadsheets, data-based applications, and electronic record-keeping).

• Solution-focused approach, remaining calm and adaptable under morning pressure.

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills across all levels of staff.

• High standards of discretion, confidentiality, and a deep commitment to safeguarding.

Desirable Requirements:

• Experience within an educational setting, particularly an SEMH or residential provision.

• Prior experience coordinating school timetables, daily cover, or using school MIS software.
