Job Introduction

Want to work for a company with great values? Are you compassionate? Inspiring? Dependable? Collaborative? Then we want to hear from you!

Horizon Care and Education Group are recruiting for a School Administrator for our new Leigh Park SEN school for 90 children based in Leigh, Wigan (WN7)

Leigh Park School will be a brand-new, independent specialist day school providing high-quality education for boys and girls. Based in Leigh, Wigan, the school will meet the diverse needs of pupils aged 5-19 with Special Educational Needs (SEN).

The School features a modern Library which is at the core of the school, with robust and sophisticated classroom facilities spread throughout.

School is set to open in January and we need an administrator asap to be involved with the initial set up process and work closely with the Headteacher.

As a school Admin Assistant, you will work closely with the Head Teacher, playing a key role in ensuring that everything runs as efficiently as possible. This role is far from a general administrator role, as you will be a key player in the success of the school.No two days are the same, and when you aren’t organising paperwork and ensuring the reception service is spot on, you may be helping to gather supplies for lessons, spending time with our students, or even taking part yourself!

As an administrator you will:

• Be point of contact for the Head Teacher
• Process admissions paperwork and keep vital records up to date, such as attendance registers
• Take care of purchases and petty cash returns, from all staff
• Organise room/facilities bookings for the school
• Collate reports as requested
• Be the friendly voice at the end of the phone for incoming/outgoing calls
• Complete duties to facilitate school registration
• Carry out annual reviews of paperwork, and keep contracts up to date
• Continue to bring historical data together to show progress and administrative integrity
• General administrative duties as directed by Head Teacher
• Build relationships with our students, and be a trusted person in their school
• Help outside of the box – could you collect supplies to make lessons more fun, or provide transport for school trips?
• Know our school inside and out, and be passionate about the work we do
