What skills and experience we're looking for

Croft Primary School (part of One Community Trust) is looking for a friendly, organised and enthusiastic Nursery Administration Assistant to support the successful day-to-day running of our school-based nursery.

This is a varied and important role at the heart of the nursery. You will be a key point of contact for our parents and carers, while providing high-quality administrative support to the Nursery Lead and wider school team.

The role requires a highly organised, approachable and proactive individual who can manage a varied workload, maintain confidentiality and provide an excellent service to families.

The role will include:

• Being a welcoming first point of contact for nursery parents and prospective families
• Responding to telephone, email and face-to-face enquiries
• Supporting nursery applications, admissions and waiting lists
• Maintaining accurate children's records and attendance information
• Supporting the administration of nursery sessions and funded childcare
• Assisting with invoices, payments and other basic financial administration
• Preparing letters, parent communications and nursery information
• Ordering nursery resources and supplies
• Supporting data returns and other nursery administration
• Working closely with the Nursery Lead, school office and finance team
• Handling sensitive and confidential information appropriately
