Administration Assistant

We are seeking to appoint a highly effective Administration Assistant to work within our Administration team. The successful candidate will be motivated, have an ability to multi-task and possess a good understanding of working in a professional environment.

The successful candidate will be based on reception and undertake reception duties; answering general telephone and face to face enquiries from all stakeholders as well as providing routine general clerical, administrative and financial support to the school. They will also assist with student welfare duties providing first aid, looking after students who feel unwell and liaising with staff and parents.

Applicants will have a passion to ensure that our learners achieve the very best that they can at all times. The core purpose of the role will be to uphold our fundamental standards of pride, respect and achievement with all stakeholders and ensure that all students receive the highest standard of bespoke support.

This post is a 52/52 contract meaning the post holder is paid for the full year and receives an annual holiday allowance (to be taken during school holiday periods). As we do not require our administration staff to work all of the school holiday periods, the post holder is required to work additional hours during term-time to off-set non-working time. Any work outside of normal school hours and holiday periods, e.g. parents evenings and results days, will be planned as far as possible in advance. A degree of flexibility around working patterns will be required.

During term-time our reception is routinely open between 7.30am and 5pm (4.30pm Friday) however this is split across shift patterns.
