About This Role: Although the job title is “Administrator,” this does not accurately describe the role. You will need to be superb at multi‑tasking, adept at prioritising, and someone who does not mind interruptions and dealing with matters as they arise at short notice to support the children, staff or parents, whilst answering the phone, ordering lunch, and writing a school newsletter. As a School Administrator, you will be working at the heart of our school. You are essential for good communication and relationships with all our stakeholders; being a people person and good communicator is essential, whilst maintaining professionalism and upholding the school’s values. Experience of working in a school office and knowledge of packages like Arbor/SIMs is desirable but not essential. You will need a good telephone manner, proficient ICT skills and excellent English language, spelling and grammar.
In Return We Can Offer:
- People‑first approach, ensuring that you feel part of our community
- Enhanced opportunities for collaborative working as part of a dynamic and highly successful Multi‑Academy Trust
- Excellent career and CPD opportunities
- A commitment to constantly review and improve our family‑friendly policies and look for new and innovative ways to aid and support our staff in achieving a healthy work/life balance
- Employee benefits package
