Job description

We are looking for an exceptional and enthusiastic individual to join our dedicated team of support staff at Dorset’s top-performing school. This is a maternity cover for 1 year fixed term.
This is an exciting opportunity to play a valued role within our busy SEND department, providing high-quality administrative and clerical support and helping to ensure the smooth and effective delivery of our services to students and staff.
No two days are quite the same. You will provide essential administrative support relating to vulnerable students, alongside a variety of general office duties, helping the Inclusion Department to run smoothly and effectively.
You will work closely with parents, teaching colleagues and external agencies so being approachable, professional and an excellent communicator is essential.

Are You

• Warm, friendly and approachable, with a confident telephone manner.
• Highly organised and efficient, with excellent attention to detail.
• Confident using IT, particularly the Microsoft Office 365 suite.
• An excellent communicator, both verbally and in writing.
• Discreet and professional, with the ability to handle sensitive information appropriately.
• A positive team player who is enthusiastic, adaptable and keen to help.
• Experienced in using SIMS (Schools Information Management System)? This would be an advantage, but is not essential, as full training will be provided.
