Job description

Administration Assistant - Grade 3 (Grade 2 may be considered depending on experience) We are looking for an enthusiastic, friendly and organised Administration Assistant to join our team at All Saints. This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a warm, welcoming school where children, families and staff are at the heart of everything we do. We are a close community with a strong family feel, guided by our Christian vision of love for ourselves, our family and our world. Although this is an office-based role, at All Saints we believe that every adult is a teacher. The successful candidate will therefore be much more than an administrator. You will be an important part of school life: welcoming children and families, supporting colleagues and helping our busy school run smoothly. We can offer you a supportive team, a varied and rewarding role and the opportunity to develop your skills and learn as part of our growing school business team. If you are enthusiastic, enjoy working with people and are willing to get stuck in, we would love to hear from you.

• genuinely enjoys working in a school environment and has a love of children;
• is warm, approachable and able to make children, families and visitors feel welcome;
• is enthusiastic, positive and willing to learn;
• is organised, reliable and able to work carefully and accurately;
• communicates confidently and professionally with a wide range of people;
• is willing to be flexible and help wherever needed - "that's not my job" isn't really how we work at All Saints!
• enjoys being part of a team and wants to contribute to the wider life of the school;
• understands the importance of confidentiality, safeguarding and professional conduct;
• shares our commitment to ensuring that every child and family feels known, valued and cared for.

Previous school administration experience would be an advantage, but attitude, potential and a willingness to learn are equally important to us. The grade offered may reflect the successful candidate's relevant skills and experience.
