Executive Assistant to SLT
Welcome to our school,
Broomfield SILC is a generic special school for pupils aged 2 to 19 years with 3 sites: our main site and 2 partnership sites at Windmill Primary and Rodillian Secondary. The SILC is based in the South of Leeds and caters for a wide range of needs from moderate learning difficulties; severe learning difficulties; complex and multiple learning needs; Autism and social and emotional and mental health needs. Some students have additional needs – physical; medical; speech and language; visual, hearing or sensory impairment. We are a very popular choice for parents and carers and currently have 228 pupils on roll.
Broomfield secured a ‘Good’ Ofsted in March 2023 where inspectors commented that leaders have ‘high ambitions’ and ‘high aspirations for all pupils’ and that ‘staff are proud to work in our school’. I am very proud of our school community where staff are committed to supporting young people to fulfil their potential and prepare them fully for their future, particularly focusing on communication, independence, and emotional regulation.
We are looking for an experienced and knowledgeable Executive Assistant to work with the Senior Leadership Team to provide strategic and operational support for the SILC. You will need to be an excellent communicator, act with a high level of confidentiality and be resilient. The role will require you to work independently, and alongside SLT providing solution-focused advice and guidance in line with the school’s vision. The successful candidate will be professional, have excellent attention to detail and will manage challenging situations effectively. They will be able to use initiative to make frequent decisions thinking creatively and making recommendations based on policy and the needs of the school. They will be able to manage conflicting demands and will understand school processes and procedures to provide advice and guidance to all key stakeholders.
We can offer:
* A welcoming, supportive and professional school environment with an excellent staff team.

We are looking for:
* Experience of working with senior management.
