What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking to appoint an Office & Cover Manager (maternity cover) to join our team in January 2025. This is a very busy and varied role in the heart of our support team; responsible for overseeing various administrative tasks and areas including both Reception and Student Support as well as managing school Cover requirements.

A calm and methodical approach to prioritising workloads will be needed, as well as the ability to manage a team of colleagues including oversight of the schools’ First Aid hub.
Cover bookings are essential to the successful running of the school, and the postholder will be responsible for securing agency staff bookings when appropriate.

Your usual day would be 8 hours (with 30 minute unpaid break) with 30 minute earlier finish on Fridays.
