Personal Assistant to the Headteacher

About the Role

Would you like to join us on our journey to become an outstanding school of first choice at the heart of our local community? Do you care enough to want to make a significant difference to the lives of our amazing students? If so, we would love to offer you the exciting opportunity to support the Headteacher undertaking a range of administrative duties. You will be responsible for the administration of the recruitment of staff, contractual changes, payroll and the website.

This post would ideally suit someone with a strong administrative background who can work flexibly as there will be a requirement for some evening work. Experience of minute taking and agenda setting for meetings would be an advantage.

About the School

In our school students are ready to learn and 'low level disruption is rare'. Ofsted were impressed with the excellent behaviour of our students both in lessons and around the school. We pride ourselves on being an 'academy of opportunity' for all with excellent relationships between staff and students.

Every member of staff receives bespoke support and development through our in-house coaching programme as well as additional professional development opportunities to promote further progress and career enhancement.
