We are seeking a skilled School Administrator to join the Westfield Team. Westfield Secondary is a school for young people with Additional Support Needs and requires a friendly, enthusiastic and welcoming face for the school, who can also assist in sharing our VALUES of Kindness, Respect, Safety and Capability.
The school Admin would be the first port of call for visitors, staff and young people as they enter the school and start their school day, which can often be unpredictable and nerve wracking for our young people. Having a welcoming person each day is essential, alongside the knowledge of SEEMiS; speaking to parents/carers in a professional manner and using IT systems supported by the Business Manager.
