Are you a super-organised, people-focused administrator looking for a role where your work genuinely makes a difference?
Leigh Academy Milestone is looking for a proactive Senior Administrator to be at the heart of our busy school operations. Reporting directly to the Principal, you’ll keep things running smoothly behind the scenes, supporting our Senior Leadership Team, Office and Data Manager, and School Office.
From coordinating diaries and compiling reports to being a reassuring, helpful point of contact for parents and external partners, no two days will look quite the same.
What you’ll be doing:
- Managing multiple electronic diaries, maintaining digital filing systems, and covering reception when needed.
- Turning data into insight: Pulling together management information and clear reports to help our Senior Leadership Team run the school day-to-day.
- Drafting parent and staff updates, proofreading formal letters, and handling sensitive parent queries with empathy and discretion.
- Helping manage School Money accounts, getting involved in school events, and championing student safeguarding.
What you’ll bring to the table:
- Strong confidence with everyday office IT applications.
- Exceptional organisation, eagle-eyed attention to detail, and the ability to juggle competing priorities calmly.
- Enthusiasm, initiative, reliability, and strict respect for confidentiality.
This is a permanent, part-time role working 15 hours per week (8:00 am – 4:00 pm, two days a week). The specific working days are flexible and will be agreed upon with the successful candidate.
