- Support the organisation of events such as Open Evenings, Taster Days, Results Days, and trips.
- Liaise with parents/carers regarding attendance, welfare, and general enquiries.
- Assist with UCAS applications and Sixth Form bursary administration.
- Ensure accuracy of data for the school’s Census returns.
- Uphold positive relationships with staff, students, and visitors.
About You

- Highly organised, with excellent attention to detail.
- Confident using ICT packages (Word, Excel, databases, spreadsheets, internet).
- A clear communicator with a professional and approachable manner.
- Able to prioritise tasks and work under pressure to meet deadlines.
- Comfortable working independently as well as part of a team.
- Flexible, with a willingness to attend occasional events outside of normal hours (with time in lieu in line with contractual arrangements).

- The opportunity to work in a continuously improving school.
- The chance to join a talented and highly committed staff team.
- Excellent students who are keen to excel and operate in an ethos underpinned by the principles of courtesy, consideration, cooperation & contribution.
