An exciting opportunity has arisen for a skilled and enthusiastic School Administrator to work in St Peter's Primary School located in the south of Edinburgh. The school currently consists of a Nursery Class and P1-P7 classes.

Reporting to the School Business Manager, you will be responsible for the smooth operation of the school office and reception. This is a front-facing role in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same. We are seeking to appoint a School Administrator who has previous experience of working in a front-facing busy administrative role. This post represents an excellent opportunity for someone to take the next step in their business support career.

At St Peters, we are committed to providing the very best educational experiences and opportunities, as well as developing our learners as leaders and responsible citizens. We strive to be at the heart of our school community and develop skills to enable effective contributions to our local community and the wider world.

Applicants should be able to demonstrate excellent interpersonal and communication skills and be able to provide a wide range of business support tasks.

The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check. Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone feels valued and able to be their best. We particularly encourage applications from women for senior roles, as well as people from minority ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities or neurodivergent people, care experienced people, carers and LGBT+ people across all levels of the organisation, all of whom are currently underrepresented. All applicants will be considered fairly based on skills and experience. Disabled and care-experienced applicants who meet the minimum job criteria will be guaranteed an interview.

As part of our goal to improve organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure we're recruiting the best people. We’re interested not only in your skills and experience but also in your approach to work. Therefore, part of our interview process will be an assessment of how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.
