Rutlish School has an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, self‑motivated, confident and articulate “all‑rounder” with excellent computer and communication skills (a strong knowledge of school information systems and software packages would be an advantage). As part of the Administrative Support Team, you must have good relationships with all stakeholders (students, parents, carers, staff and outside agencies). The duties of all Admin positions are varied and based upon the needs of the School. We are able to offer the opportunity to work in an “outstanding” oversubscribed school. In September 2024, Ofsted rated Rutlish as “Outstanding” in all five areas of judgement.

• The school is set in a conservation area close to Wimbledon town centre, with excellent transport links; London Underground, British Rail, bus routes and the tram are all close by.
• Other benefits of working for Merton include; membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme, access to the Employee Assistance Programme for you and your family, discounted membership to Merton leisure centres, employee discounts on a range of leisure activities, from days out to magazine subscriptions, as well as hair and beauty treatments, courses at Merton Adult Education, entertainment events and discounts at local restaurants. You could also benefit from Merton’s cycle‑to‑work scheme and have free membership to the Old Rutlishians Association who have events such as live acoustic nights and comedy nights.
• You will also have the benefit of regular professional development.

If you have a commitment to achieving high standards and would like to join our dynamic team, then we look forward to receiving your application.
