School Administrator job summary

Tiffield CEVA Primary School have a vacancy for a School Administrator. The role is a varied and busy one running the school office. The school office is the engine room of the school which means you are often wearing many hats and juggling lots of jobs at once. One minute you could be dealing with a parent, answering the phone and door, helping a member of staff, completing a statutory return, raising an invoice and to top it all a child has been sent into your office and is about to vomit on your floor. You remain calm and professional under pressure, smile and prioritise instead of collapsing in a heap. Do not be fooled that the job is easy as at times it can be challenging but is enjoyable.

The ideal candidate needs to be:

• Organised and efficient
• Have good listening skills
• Be able to follow instructions
• IT literate
• Able to think on their feet and make decisions
• Confident in their own abilities

• Professional at all times
• A great team player

Staff from across the federation work closely together and support each other, so you are never completely on your own.

Hours of work are 8.45 am to 3.45 pm Monday to Friday, 38 weeks per year (term time only). The successful candidate will need to be flexible at times. The full time salary is £25,185 with the actual estimated salary being £17,110 per annum.
