PERMANENT CONTRACT
We are seeking to appoint a flexible, resilient and hardworking Office Administrator to join the Academy’s Support Team. The successful candidate will be an active member of the team in order to maximise the efficiency of all administrative work that supports the academic and personal development of our students.
Based in the Main Office and reporting to the Facilities Support Manager, the Office Administrator will be responsible for providing support to all aspects of the Academy’s administrative function and be the first point of contact for all school visitors. This position will include handling of sensitive and confidential information along with daily liaison with staff, parents, students and other external bodies to ensure the smooth running of the office.
Candidates should have experience of working in a busy and demanding reception/office environment as well as a good knowledge of IT systems including Microsoft Office. Excellent customer service, professionalism and a willingness to go above and beyond is at the forefront of this role.
We ask that applicants be energetic, pro-active and enthusiastic as well as possessing a calm, organised and approachable character which is seen as an essential part of the role. You must have a clear commitment to working with young people and be able to set clear guidelines for them. The post offers a fulfilling opportunity to work responsibly with young people in the Academy.
The Academy joined the Sapientia Education Trust (SET) in June 2020 which was an exciting and important development for the school. The SET are committed to bringing like-minded schools together to work in partnership to develop a world class education. This merger promises to bring multiple benefits in terms of teaching and learning and new opportunities for students and staff. Just before Easter 2023, we were pleased to announce that we have achieved the World Class School Quality Mark which is a tribute to all in our community.
We are an inclusive, friendly and effective learning community with high aspirations and a reputation for innovation. Excellent relationships between students and staff are at the heart of the ethos of the Academy and are often commented on by those who visit the school. Indeed, in our most recent Ofsted Inspection (2021) we were termed a ‘special place to be’. The Academy is a hardworking and caring community of people with high standards and high expectations. Our core values are Commitment, Acknowledgement, Respect and Excellence (CARE). CARE therefore has a genuine meaning within our school as we want the Academy to be a place where these values are seen in all aspects of our work together.
It is anticipated that interviews will take place during the week commencing Monday 23 June 2025 and shortlisted applicants will be contacted by email with details of the arrangements. The post will be offered subject to enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) clearance.
Closing date for receipt of applications: Monday 23 June 2025 (by 09.00)
