Job description

Come shape the future of education with us.

At Compass, our people are united by a common purpose, to simplify school management and improve student outcomes. We're a leading global provider of School Management Information Systems (MIS), already trusted by over 5,000 schools across Australia, Ireland, and the UK.

We're on a journey of growth with vast market opportunities ahead, and we're searching for an Office Administrator to join our dynamic team in London. If you're a thinker and a problem-solver who thrives in a collaborative environment and celebrates diversity, you'll fit right in.

We’re looking for a conscientious and proactive Office Administrator to join our London team. You’ll be the person who keeps everything running smoothly, from making sure our workspace is the best place to work, to supporting our schools and ensuring new starters feel welcome from day one.

This is a hands-on role at the heart of the business, perfect for someone who enjoys variety and who wants to take ownership of their role.

What you’ll be doing day-to-day

Office & Culture

• Ensuring our London office is welcoming, organised, and fully stocked (stationery, equipment, and refreshments)
• Spotting opportunities to improve how we work and making things happen
• Helping to plan and deliver company events, from Christmas and summer parties to weekly Thursday socials
• Being the first point of contact in the office - a friendly face for staff, visitors, contractors and suppliers
• Liaising with schools and couriers to ensure deliveries and collections are happening on time

New Starter Setup

• Ordering laptops and phones for new employees
• Setting up workstations so new joiners have everything they need from day one
• Making sure their arrival is smooth and memorable

This is a fully on-site role in London. Both full-time and part-time applications will be considered.

What’s in it for you?

• We come together with our unique strengths to work towards a common purpose - shaping the future of education. When you join our team, you will collaborate with individuals who are passionate, driven, and open to embracing change in a fast-paced environment.
• Learning & Development opportunities - we want you to grow and get the most out of your role!
• 25 days annual leave + all statutory Public & Bank Holidays.
• 9.5% employer pension contribution
• 24/7 access to our Employment Assistance Program (EAP) through the means of face-to-face, livechat and phone support.

It is a really exciting time to join Compass. We are growing and are looking for ambitious individuals who want to grow alongside us. Compass is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We embrace and celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
