Job description

The heart of a school isn’t just the classroom—it’s the office.

From the first smile at reception to keeping registers, records, and routines ticking over, school administrators make it all happen. And now, Protocol Education is building a dedicated pool of trained, trusted, and ready-to-go admin professionals to support schools across Southwark.

We’re especially keen to hear from people from a range of backgrounds—whether you’ve worked in schools before or are bringing transferable skills from another sector. If you're organised, friendly, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, we want to hear from you.

What the role involves:

• Supporting school office functions—reception, attendance, data, admin.

• Using systems like SIMS, Arbor, or Bromcom.

• Welcoming visitors, handling calls, managing emails.

• Helping everything run smoothly behind the scenes.

You’ll be great for this if you:

• Have school admin or general office experience (bonus points for SIMS/Arbor/Bromcom knowledge).

• Communicate clearly and confidently with staff, pupils, and parents.

• Are organised, unflappable, and IT savvy.

• Are looking for flexible daily cover or something longer term.

• A range of school roles across Southwark – choose what suits you.

• Long-term, temp-to-perm and daily supply options.

• Access to admin-specific CPD.

• A friendly local consultant who gets your goals.
