We are seeking a positive, proactive, enthusiastic, and highly organised person with a strong background in successful school or similar administration. Experience of ordering and maintaining specialist equipment would be an advantage, as would access to a vehicle on occasion (the team sometimes access our separate storage facility). A broader interest in contributing towards improving outcomes for children and young people with SEN and/or disability and their families is desirable.
This is a part-time term-time only post, 2 days/week on Mondays and Tuesdays (not negotiable), to start at the beginning of September 2026. Under the direction of the Oak Field Outreach Lead Teacher, the focus of this post is to provide general administrative support to the Outreach service, including financial administration as appropriate. This includes maintaining the pupil support and equipment database, the monitoring and management of equipment, general financial administration (e.g. processing of orders and invoices, and a good/sound knowledge of using software such as Excel), and effective liaison with colleagues, other educational settings, external agencies and equipment suppliers.
Knowledge and experience of ordering and maintaining specialist equipment would be an advantage, and the postholder is expected to be willing to undertake further training as appropriate; the school fully understands that some equipment and school-specific training will be needed in the first instance, and will be supportive of this. In this case, however, we would be looking for a quick learner! The postholder will also be encouraged to participate actively in the wider life of the school.
