Administration Assistant

Due to the current post holder covering a secondment an opportunity has arisen for the temporary appointment of an admin assistant at Stone Hill School.

Stone Hill School has been created as part of the re-organisation of Doncaster special schools. It is a community day special school for pupils aged 5-16 years with moderate learning difficulties and additional needs, specifically ASC. We are situated in a purpose built school on Barnsley Road, Scawsby.

The successful candidate will support the effective day to day management of the school through providing administration duties and clerical support, and will also have:

• experience of general administration duties
• experience of prioritising and managing tasks
• effective organisational skills and ability to work on their own initiative
• strong communication and interpersonal skills
• a working knowledge of computerised information systems including data bases and excel spreadsheets
• NVQ Level 2 or equivalent in Maths and English
• a flexible approach to working hours
• knowledge of the SIMS pupils data software would be an advantage but not essential as training can be given

The school has a friendly and supportive governing body and staff team where everyone is valued.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to an enhanced CRB check.

To discuss the position further please contact Mrs Kate Frogson on 01302 800090 or via the admin e-mail.

Application forms can be downloaded online and should be returned to Mrs Frogson by 12 noon on 7th September 2012

Shortlisting will take place on 11th September 2012 with interviews to be held on 20th September 2012
