PA to Principal Apprentice job summary

We are looking for a dedicated and passionate PA to Principal Apprentice to join our team!

Our Academy opened in September 2013 with 120 students in Year 7 and has grown year on year with our Sixth Form opening in September 2018 and our founding cohort starting prestigious and exciting university courses last September.

Through love, nurture and a rigorous academic focus, our vision is to support every child and help them to achieve their full potential, becoming model citizens and future leaders. All students are welcome with us, regardless of starting point,

need or complexity. We are totally inclusive and believe that all students here will ‘Climb the STAIRS to Greatness’ and reach our two end goals of getting their dream job and becoming a model citizen. We are unapologetically ambitious for all of our students. We put in place support and stilts to help every student meet our high expectations rather than ever lowering the bar.

We are incredibly proud of everything we have achieved in the last eight years: our dedicated, compassionate and hardworking staff team; our great outcomes and exciting destinations and most of all, the kind, well-rounded young people leaving us who go on to thrive in purposeful and challenging further education.

The role of PA to Principal is an essential one in the life of our school. You will be a key point of communication with our families, staff and visitors and will lead on some whole school events. We love welcoming visitors to the school and showing them the best of South Bank. You will be a key contact and will support making these visits a success. You will also need great attention to detail, and a high standard of written communication to ensure that our ‘comms’ are watertight! Most importantly, you will need to be flexible and positive, every day is different in this role which makes it challenging, fun and never boring!
