Attendance and Admissions Officer

About You

You are an organised, approachable, and detail-focused professional who enjoys working with people and systems in equal measure. You understand the importance of accurate attendance and admissions data and take pride in maintaining high standards, even when juggling competing priorities.

You’re confident communicating with students, parents, staff, and external partners, and you handle sensitive information with discretion and professionalism. Calm under pressure, you’re comfortable working to deadlines and responding to inquiries in a busy, fast-paced environment. Most importantly, you are committed to supporting positive student experiences and contributing to the smooth running of the school and student services.

Burnt Mill is a caring and friendly school and our students tell us that when they come to school, they feel happy, safe and they enjoy their learning. This positive environment, where our students are supported and inspired to be the best that they can possibly be, enables every child to thrive. Indeed, many pupils enjoy school life so much that they often stay until 5.00 pm to continue their studies or to participate in extra-curricular activities.

About the Trust
BMAT is a thriving community of schools, committed to providing an outstanding education for every student attending one of our schools. We create environments where individuals matter, confidence flourishes, and every child can achieve exceptional outcomes. We currently oversee seven secondary academies and five primary academies, primarily located in Harlow, with additional sites in Newham and Stansted.

The Trust’s vision is clear - to work together to smash through the barriers that prevent children from becoming confident, high-achieving, and independent individuals.

What can BMAT offer you?
BMAT provides a range of benefits to support your personal and professional well-being:

• Enhanced and flexible PPA
• Generous employer pension contribution through Teachers Pensions or Local Government Pension Scheme
• Private healthcare benefits, including 24/7 Doctorline access
• Home and electronic salary sacrifice scheme
• Cycle to work
• Discounted Gym membership through salary sacrifice
• Lifestyle and discount savings
• Workplace nursery fee salary sacrifice scheme via Yellownest
