Office Assistant

Required to start mid to late August 2026, we seek to recruit a part‑time, all year round Office Assistant to join our friendly and professional team to assist with the administration and organisational requirements of the College. Alongside other Front of House staff, the post holder is responsible for the day to day running of the busy Front of House.

The position involves a mixture of comprehensive administrative support and general duties, mostly focusing on supporting the Facilities team. Collaborative support of the College Receptionist and Front of House/Office Supervisor, including covering where necessary, is also a key requisite of this role.

This is a 20 hour a week role, working all year round. The working pattern is Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 1.30pm.

The starting salary for this role is between D5 to D12 of the Princethorpe Foundation support staff scale, currently £25,106.25 to £27,074.58 per annum full‑time equivalent including holiday pay (actual salary £13,390.00 to £14,439.78 per annum including holiday pay) by negotiation, depending on qualifications and relevant experience.

Potential candidates are strongly encouraged to visit the school's website for more information about our thriving School, which offers a rich curriculum and strong sense of community. Continuing Professional Development is encouraged.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a Foundation that values its staff and offers a rewarding benefits package including:

• Discounted places for staff
• Free car parking on site
• A pension scheme
• A cycle to work scheme
• Employee benefit scheme through Vivup which offers lifestyle savings and a care and wellbeing platform

Foundation schools are usually closed between Christmas and New Year. The three days between Christmas and New Year are currently classed as closure days and will not impact holiday entitlement. When Christmas Eve falls on a weekday this will be classed as a Family and Friends Day; staff contracted to work this day will not be required to attend on site.

To apply for this vacancy applicants must complete the online application form, together with a CV and covering letter detailing personal qualities, experience and how you meet the person specification for the role. Closing date for applications is Monday 20 July 2026 at 9.00am; however, candidates may be called for interview before this date and the closing date brought forward. Candidates are encouraged to apply at their earliest opportunity. Interviews are likely to be held on Wednesday 22 July 2026 at Princethorpe College.
