Looking for a role where your organisational and people skills make a real difference? Love the idea of working in a school setting, supporting pupils, staff, and families alike? If so, we’ve got just the thing…
We're on the lookout for a warm, efficient, and proactive School Administrator to become the friendly face at the front of a school we are supporting. You’ll be the first point of contact for parents, carers, and visitors – so a welcoming manner, a professional approach, and a great phone voice are all must-haves. The hours are 08.00am - 4.00pm Monday-Friday term time only plus one extra week a year (so 40 weeks per year in total). The role is temp - perm for the right person.
What you’ll be doing:
- Keeping reception running smoothly and supporting the team when needed
- Managing emails and phone calls, directing enquiries and keeping things ticking along
- Maintaining and updating pupil records on our systems
- Supporting the school’s admin tasks – from attendance records to invoice filing
- Helping with data returns like the school census
- Ordering and auditing first aid supplies (no need to be a medic, just organised!)
- Playing your part in emergency procedures and school safety drills
- Assisting with staff onboarding and induction – including those all-important school tours
- Supporting the Operations Manager with website updates, legal referral processes, and more
This is a role that truly sits at the heart of the school. You’ll need to be computer confident, calm under pressure, and ready to roll your sleeves up and get stuck in.
What we’re looking for:
- A people-person with strong admin and communication skills
- Someone who’s happy to work in a busy school office, with a focus on safeguarding and efficiency
- A flexible team player who’s keen to support others and jump in when needed
- A commitment to keeping things running smoothly for the benefit of pupils and staff alike
- DBS check will be processed once selected
