What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to appoint an exceptional School Operations, Communications & Development Officer to play a pivotal role in the strategic and operational life of Stanhope Primary School.

Working closely with the Senior Leadership Team, School Business Operations Manager, Governors, the Local Authority, and external partners, you will lead the school office function, provide executive-level support to leaders, drive high-quality communications and branding, generate income through bids and lettings, oversee Breakfast and After-School Club provision, and support the operational excellence that has contributed to our recent awards and external recognition.

We are seeking someone who is tenacious, meticulous, and highly effective; someone who thrives under pressure, adapts to change, and brings out the best in others. In return, we offer the opportunity to join a committed, values-driven team where collaboration, pride in place, and making a difference truly matter.
