• Liaise with the Head of Estates regarding lettings management — promoting community use of our facilities while ensuring compliance with all health, safety, and safeguarding protocols.
• Ensure compliance with relevant legislation, including GDPR, safeguarding, and health &amp; safety requirements.
• Assist with risk assessments, internal audits, and the preparation of reports for the Business Manager and senior leaders.
About You
You will be:
• A confident and experienced administrator, ideally with experience in a school or public sector environment.
• Skilled in financial procedures, compliance, and budget monitoring.
• An excellent communicator, able to build strong, positive relationships at all levels.
• A team leader who motivates and supports others while maintaining high standards.
• Organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple priorities with accuracy and professionalism.
• Compassionate and empathetic, with a genuine commitment to putting children at the heart of every decision.
Desirable experience:
• Experience in managing or coordinating lettings, venue hire, or facilities.
• Knowledge of HR processes, compliance, or health &amp; safety.
• Familiarity with school management systems (e.g. SIMS, Arbor, or similar).
What We Offer
• A welcoming, supportive, and collaborative team across both schools.
• A positive working culture that values professionalism, trust, and well-being.
• Opportunities for ongoing professional development.
• The chance to make a real difference in a busy, thriving, and happy federation.
