What skills and experience we're looking for

We would like to extend a warm welcome from all pupils, staff, governors and trustees of Rhyddings. Rhyddings serves the East Lancashire old mill town of Oswaldtwistle and surrounding area of Hyndburn. It has been at the heart of the community for over 90 years and although a smaller than average high school, but expanding, we cater for pupils from a diverse range of backgrounds. The school enjoys good transport links via the M65 corridor and adjoining networks of M6 and M66.

We continue to work hard to prepare the young people we serve and help them realise and reach their potential, providing them with the very best educational experiences. We are also part of a group of founding schools in Hyndburn to form the LET multi- academy trust (MAT), within Hyndburn, with a neighbouring high school and two primary schools. Rhyddings are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, committed, skilled and highly effective Receptionist / Administrator to further support our successful administration team.

We are looking for an outstanding individual who is dedicated to providing a friendly, welcoming and professional front of house reception.

Overseen by a member of the senior leadership team and working closely with our current experienced and well-developed admin team as well as alongside all school staff, this is a varied, challenging, yet highly rewarding role where no two days are the same.

There is plenty of scope to work independently with initiative as well as in collaboration with your colleagues.

We want someone who is an excellent organiser, problem solver and above all flexible, with the ability to remain calm under pressure and retain their sense of humour!

Experience of working in a busy office environment is key to the success of this role. We are looking to appoint someone who will be effective and efficient and able to form positive working relationships in all aspects of the role.

What the school offers its staff

We have a comprehensive offer of professional development. This includes regular CPD opportunities across the year for whole staff, teams and individuals.

Our curriculum planning meetings are developmental and this is further supported by our dedicated weekly hour of Personal Professional Development.

This underpins our research approach to our appraisal system, which is based on a Personal Inquiry Question. School also has a CPD library, uses collaborative learning tools, as well as accessing external courses and training, including NPQ’s. Work across the Trust is also a feature of our commitment to developing our staff and providing the very best opportunities.

All members of our community have access and use Office 365 including collaborative learning tools such as MS Teams and OneNote through wireless and portable technologies.

We have access to regular CPD both in school, external courses and through our local collaboration as a trust school, a partner of the Embrace SCITT and nationally through wider organisations. At the heart of the LET Education Trust is the intention to provide the best career support, development and opportunity to all staff. The LET Education Trust’s Wellbeing Charter can be found here LET Wellbeing Charter.

Rhyddings is a warm, welcoming and friendly community.  We believe we should all try our Personal Best and accept No Excuses. This culture, alongside high-quality lessons is ensuring our school is moving from strength to strength.  

We continue to work hard to prepare the young people we serve and help them realise and reach their potential, providing them with the very best educational experiences.  We have been at the heart of the community for over 90 years and although a smaller than average high school, but expanding, we cater for pupils from a diverse range of backgrounds.

Rhyddings serves the East Lancashire old mill town of Oswaldtwistle and surrounding area of Hyndburn. The school enjoys good transport links via the M65 corridor and adjoining networks of M6 and M66.

Pupils are well supported through our Pastoral Year and House Continent system, with year group tutoring further supporting the child. This provides the care and guidance pupils need to perform well across the curriculum as well as healthy competition throughout the year.

We have an active extra-curricular programme and run a number of annual residential trips both here and abroad. Close links with the local Rotary Club provides access to bespoke programmes, community work and charitable activities. Pupils also have the opportunity to participate and complete their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award and some participate in The King’s Trust programme.
