Grade 3 Admin Assistant
The Governors and Head Teacher are looking to appoint a highly motivated and organised Admin Assistant to join our school team. The main responsibilities of the role would be to assist in the provision of clerical support for the school, including answering the telephone, dealing with face-to-face enquiries, correspondence and school trip organisation.
Recent office experience is a pre-requisite and previous school office experience would be advantageous.
The role requires the ability to work as part of a team and to strict deadlines. Excellent inter-personal skills, enthusiasm and high levels of accuracy are integral to the role and the ability to multi-task is essential.
A professional and discreet approach when dealing with pupils, staff, governors, and visitors to the school is required. The successful applicant will need to be able to maintain a friendly, helpful, confidential and professional attitude when dealing with queries.

The role will be for 39 weeks (38 weeks term time and 1 week of inset days). Please note, the applicant must be able to be flexible regarding working days to accommodate INSET days (often on a Monday).
