What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for a personable and highly organised School Administrator to join our welcoming village school. The successful candidate will play a vital role in creating a positive and inviting atmosphere for all visitors, staff, and pupils, embodying the warm and nurturing ethos that defines our school community.

The ideal candidate will have exceptional time management skills, be able to juggle multiple priorities, and remain calm as plans change. Flexibility and adaptability are key, as no two days are the same in a dynamic school environment.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a motivated individual who is keen to make a real impact at the heart of our school. If you have a passion for contributing to a positive learning environment, we would love to hear from you.

What the school offers its staff

At Cardinham School we have the motto “Discover. Be Inspired. Succeed”.

Our curriculum is designed to inspire enthusiasm so pupils are motivated to acquire a range of knowledge and become the best they can be. Our approach enables our children to make meaningful links with their learning.

Cardinham is a rural school with excellent access to the countryside. We celebrate this uniqueness by ensuring children have regular opportunities to utilise the outdoors in their learning. We have a strong sense of community cohesion and celebrate this by enabling children to become involved in the community, through celebration of local traditions and enabling them to take an active part in events throughout the year.
