The governors of this welcoming, friendly and caring Church of England Primary School wish to appoint an efficient and enthusiastic School Administration Assistant to join our highly motivated team. This is a key role at the heart of a happy, caring and successful school.
As the first point of contact for families, visitors and callers, you will need excellent communication and telephone skills, a professional manner and a welcoming approach. You will thrive in a fast-paced office environment, using your initiative, managing competing priorities and working both independently and as part of a close-knit team.
You will work closely with the School Business Manager, Pastoral Manager and Headteacher, and play a vital role in the smooth day-to-day running of school.
The Governing Body expects the successful candidate to support the Christian ethos of the school.
The successful candidate will:
- Have previous experience in an administrative role
- Be highly organised, efficient and able to multitask
- Prioritise workload and manage time effectively
- Have excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Be friendly, approachable and professional
- Demonstrate tact, confidentiality and discretion
If you have experience in a primary school or a very busy, customer-facing role this would be an advantage.
In return, we offer:
- A forward-looking school, keen to accept new challenges
- A staff team committed to achieving high standards
- A commitment to continued professional development
- Enthusiastic and well behaved children
Visits to the school are welcomed. Please contact [email removed] or telephone [phone removed] to make an appointment with Miss Laura Trelfa, Headteacher.
