What skills and experience we're looking for
About the Sixth Form Team
The Sixth Form team is led by the Director of Sixth Form with the support of two Assistant Directors of Sixth Form, two Co-ordinators and two Study Centre Cover Supervisors. In each year group there are five form tutors. Students in the Sixth Form take A Levels and/or vocational courses. The majority take 3 subjects but some take 4 subjects and we also offer Extended Project Qualification and Scholars Program. Most of our students go on to study at University.
About You
The Sixth Form Co-ordinators play a pivotal role in managing the administrative and organisational needs of the Sixth Form. This includes overseeing attendance, maintaining accurate records on SIMS, and supporting key activities such as the creation of study centre resources, student duty rotas, and the planning of events like the Year 13 leavers’ prom. The Co-ordinators ensure smooth operations by organising Sixth Form trips, managing bursary funds, and assisting with the lecture and enrichment programmes. They also support the admissions process, liaising with internal and external stakeholders, processing applications, and co-ordinating events such as open evenings and induction days.
Pastoral care and post-18 support are also central to the role. The Co-ordinators monitor behaviour in the Sixth Form Centre, provide pastoral support, and ensure safeguarding concerns are logged and communicated effectively. They assist students with the UCAS process, organise careers support and events like mock interviews and higher education evenings, and provide guidance on results days. By collaborating closely with the Director of Sixth Form, Assistant Headteachers, and other staff, the co-ordinators ensure the effective operation of the Sixth Form and foster a supportive environment for students.
Previous office administrative experience is essential, preferably within a school environment, and applicants must demonstrate a good knowledge of safeguarding requirements for working with children. Experience of working in a school sixth form is desirable but not essential. The ideal candidate will be proficient with IT including Microsoft packages such as Outlook, Excel and Word. The ability to use a range of school specific packages including a working knowledge of SIMS would be a distinct advantage but not essential.
