The successful candidate will primarily be based at the Vocational Centre with occasional requirements to cover at the main school site.
Core aspects of the post are to oversee student attendance information, collate and present data regarding attendance and behaviour within the school, process financial invoices, orders, credit card reconciliation, manage and update school information systems, manage the Reception area of the Vocational Centre, and provide administrative support for the staff of the school. In this role you will assist in overseeing and implementing social media and website updates.

The Bridge School is a Pupil Referral Unit for Secondary aged students. Many students experience varied barriers to learning, including developmental and behavioural challenges. Teaching staff and students will benefit from a proactive member of office staff who is able to anticipate their needs and independently develop structures that will support the smooth running of the school.
Although you would not work directly with the young people in the school, you will have daily contact with them. The support and development of our student’s social skills, emotional needs and mental health is a core strand of the school’s remit. Subsequently, although you may not necessarily have experience working with this profile of young people, we require staff who understand the impact of these aspects of child development on an individual’s progress, participation and communication. You will need to be resilient and open minded, and you will actively seek to develop professional and supportive relationships with our students and families.
Informal discussions with the School Business Manager or Vocational Associate Head or Headteacher, and visits to the school are encouraged. These can be arranged by contacting the school office (01928-581301).
