Reporting to the Headteacher and the Office Manager, the post will assume a broad range of responsibilities.
It is a highly technologically forward-looking role, requiring a high level of independence as well as excellent teamwork. It is essential that the person for this role is super organised, admin savvy, excellent at multi-tasking, works flexibly, and has a ‘can do’ attitude. You will liaise with a range of stakeholders including staff, students, parents, governors, and members of the local community. The person must have an enthusiasm to strive for operational excellence through the development and coordination of activities. It is a fast-paced job where no two days are the same.

If you have strong HR skills and experience, are adaptable and willing to work hard we would love to hear from you. Experience of working in a similar setting is desirable but not essential.
