Job description

We are seeking to appoint an experienced and enthusiastic Administrative Assistant to join our very busy office team. The successful candidate will have excellent written and oral communication skills and be able to communicate with parents, children and colleagues in a positive and helpful way.

Excellent interpersonal skills are required together with a calm, positive and professional approach. Applicants should be computer literate (Microsoft Office) and must demonstrate excellent ICT skills. Knowledge of SIMS is preferable (but not essential as training can be given) and previous experience of working within a school office would be an advantage. The environment is diverse and fast-changing so the ability to be organised and prioritise is essential. The role includes the provision of first aid and medical support and therefore the successful candidate will be required to hold a paediatric first aid qualification; training can be provided.

The post is for 28.75 hours per week, 5 days per week, 8:45am-3:30pm (1 hour for lunch unpaid), term time only (plus Staff Training Days). Scale 4 Point 8-9.
