Office Manager job summary

Orion Education is a values-led organisation, driven by a determination to create welcoming and open schools for the local community, where every person thrives, makes excellent progress, and succeeds. We are committed to improving outcomes and transforming lives, realising social mobility, and the transformative power of education. We value the difference in all of our schools while seeking to bring them together around a framework that delivers an enriching experience and a great education for the young people within our care.

We want the very best for all of our young people. Our plan to ensure that we deliver great schools is underpinned by our shared values of trust, kindness, and endeavour. Our schools and our staff are collaborative and we seek to create consistency and quality throughout. Our leaders create improvement in schools that is robust and sustainable. We are as enthusiastic about developing and nurturing our staff, as we are about developing our young people. Our professional development programs and our approach to school improvement provide quality and rigor while creating a depth of experience and learning for our staff.

At Orion Scotts Park, children are at the heart of everything we do. We aim to provide a warm, welcoming environment that supports the children in their learning and well-being. Children should feel safe and secure in a school that develops their passion for learning and that is what we always strive for. Our school motto is “Learning together for a brighter future” and we firmly believe in that motto - that we will continue to learn and develop alongside your children. We want to work in partnership with the parents to support your child in the best way possible.

Being part of the Orion Education, we share a common goal - opportunity for all. We have our own Orion Scotts Park Core Values: Acceptance, Kindness, Honesty, Responsibility, Respect, Creativity, Effort, Integrity and Fun, which show the children that we regard educating not just in terms of academics but also in terms of the whole person.
