We’re looking for someone who is highly organised with excellent administrative skills, with proven knowledge of Microsoft packages. You’ll need to be an excellent communicator, both written and verbal, with strong attention to detail, and ideally have experience of working in a busy office or a school environment.

We can offer you:

  • An opportunity to work in an experienced and supportive team from whom you can learn, develop and grow.
  • A friendly, busy and dynamic workplace where each day is different from the last.
