Ruislip High School is looking to appoint an experienced and highly motivated individual to be a School Office Administrator. The role would suit a proactive, flexible and highly motivated person who enjoys the challenge of working in a busy environment. You will be responsible for undertaking administrative tasks, helping to maintain a ‘front of house’ service in reception and ensuring that appropriate medical welfare support is provided to students. This role is key in contributing to the smooth running of the school office.
As this position deals with a wide variety of stakeholders it will require excellent communication and interpersonal skills. The successful candidate will need to be extremely well organised, have exceptional time-management, attention to detail and a high level of computer literacy.
Why work at Ruislip High School?
Students and staff treat each other with respect. They share high aspirations which are realised through high expectations of everyone.
The school has a comprehensive professional development programme tailored to individual needs, from ECT to middle and senior leadership; new staff are supported and guided by highly skilled and experienced colleagues, and by partners in external organisations.
Staff have a range of opportunities to collaborate and develop their career within the Vanguard Learning Trust.
Staff are afforded many benefits and rewards as part of the Vanguard Learning Trust’s entitlement package for staff.
There are excellent transport links with central London, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Berkshire.
In joining Ruislip High School you can expect to work in an environment that focuses on teachers improving, rather than proving, their practice; where teaching and learning is at the heart of everything we do; and where all staff work as a community to support our students to fulfil their potential in line with our school’s motto: from grass roots to reaching for the sky.
If you believe that you can meet our needs and would relish the real demands and rewards of playing a major part in the success of Ruislip High School, we would like to hear from you.
