The role involves working Term Time only at our school based in West Wickham, Bromley. Wickham Park School is a brand-new SEN school in the heart of Bromley, South London. Set across three buildings, the school provides exceptional, modern learning facilities for up to 70 pupils aged 5-19 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) and Autism.
As a school Admin Assistant, you will work closely with the Head Teacher, playing a key role in ensuring that everything runs as efficiently as possible. This role is far from a general administrator role, as you will be a key player in the success of the school. No two days are the same, and when you aren’t organising paperwork and ensuring the reception service is spot on, you may be helping to gather supplies for lessons, spending time with our students, or even taking part yourself!
As an administrator you will:
- Be point of contact for the Head Teacher
- Process admissions paperwork and keep vital records up to date, such as attendance registers
- Take care of purchases and petty cash returns, from all staff
- Organise room/facilities bookings for the school
- Collate reports as requested
- Be the friendly voice at the end of the phone for incoming/outgoing calls
- Complete duties to facilitate school registration
- Carry out annual reviews of paperwork, and keep contracts up to date
- Continue to bring historical data together to show progress and administrative integrity
- General administrative duties as directed by Head Teacher
- Build relationships with our students, and be a trusted person in their school
- Help outside of the box – could you collect supplies to make lessons more fun, or provide transport for school trips?
- Know our school inside and out, and be passionate about the work we do
