We’re currently recruiting for a School Administration Officer to join an SEN provision supporting pupils from KS1–KS4 across Croydon and Beckenham.
This is a permanent, part-time opportunity for someone who is organised, reliable and confident working across different areas of school administration. You’ll work closely with the Headteacher and wider school team, helping to keep the day-to-day running of the school organised and efficient.
The Role
This is a varied position rather than a role focused on one area of administration. You’ll provide support across the school and help keep key systems, records and processes up to date.
Your responsibilities will include:
-
General school administration and office support
-
Supporting admissions and maintaining accurate pupil records
-
Updating and managing school data and systems
-
Assisting with HR and finance administration
-
Preparing documents, records and correspondence
-
Supporting the Headteacher with day-to-day administrative tasks
-
Liaising with staff, parents and external contacts when required
-
Helping ensure school processes and records are kept organised
-
Providing general support to the wider school team
Who Would Suit This Role?
The school is looking for someone with strong administration and organisational skills who can work confidently in a busy school environment.
Previous experience working within a school would be beneficial, particularly if you have some understanding of admissions, pupil records, HR or finance administration.
You’ll need to be comfortable using IT systems, handling data accurately and managing different tasks at the same time. A proactive attitude and the ability to work independently are also important.
As the role is split between the school's Croydon and Beckenham sites, you'll need to be comfortable working across both locations.
