We are seeking to appoint an adaptable and organised Departmental Admin Assistant to join our school team. This is a dual-purpose role combining classroom supervision and administrative support within a designated department.

Key Responsibilities:

• Supervise pupils and deliver lessons as set by teaching staff.

• Maintain a calm and productive classroom atmosphere, supporting positive behaviour and engagement.

• Respond to pupil questions regarding set tasks, processes, or expectations.

• Collect completed work and return it to the appropriate staff member.

• Record and report pupil behaviour and engagement in line with school procedures.

• Complete administrative tasks as directed within the department.

• Carry out basic first aid and personal care duties when necessary.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is calm, confident, and able to manage whole-class supervision effectively (training provided).

• Has strong literacy and numeracy skills.

• Can work both independently and collaboratively within a busy team.

• Is reliable, professional, and committed to supporting student learning.

• Has excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.

This role would suit someone who thrives in a dynamic environment and is keen to make a meaningful contribution to the daily life of the school. Previous experience in a school setting is desirable but not essential.
