We are seeking a highly organised, professional and enthusiastic School Administrator to join our busy school office team. This is an exciting opportunity for an individual who enjoys working in a fast‑paced environment and takes pride in delivering excellent administrative and customer service support.
This is a varied role, with responsibilities split between attendance administration and exams/data support. Typically, the successful candidate will spend approximately half of their working time supporting the school's attendance processes, helping to improve attendance levels and reduce persistent absence, while the remaining time will be dedicated to providing administrative support for the school's examinations and data functions. This unique combination offers the opportunity to play a key role in supporting student success, both through attendance monitoring and the effective management of assessment and student information systems.
The successful candidate will have excellent organisational and interpersonal skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, maintain accuracy and confidentiality, and build positive relationships with staff, students, parents, governors, visitors and external agencies. You will be confident using Microsoft Office applications and school management information systems, with previous administrative experience.
We place students at the centre of everything we do, with a focus on creating a culture of success, a positive climate for learning, and increased student attainment, achievement and social and emotional development. You must possess the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students.
We offer a competitive salary, access to a contributory local government pension scheme and other additional staff benefits. The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and expects all members of staff to share this commitment.
