Could you be the heart of our school office? We’re on the lookout for a rare gem—a sharp-minded, unflappable, warm-hearted individual who can juggle priorities with a smile and keep our school office running like clockwork. This isn’t just about admin; it’s about people, planning and purpose. Our much-loved Senior Administrator is moving on after 8 fantastic years, and we’re hoping to find someone just as special to join our friendly, dedicated team from September 2025. What we’re looking for: You’ll be the first face families see, the go-to for staff, and a calm presence in a lively environment. You’ll love a list, know your way around a spreadsheet, and take pride in creating streamlined systems. Whether it’s managing key processes, rolling out new initiatives, or being a listening ear, you’ll bring a professional, proactive and people-focused approach. You might be our Rare Gem if you are:
<ul>
<li>Warm, diplomatic, discreet and great with people—whether 5 years old or 75</li>
<li>Naturally organised with a flair for forward-thinking and project planning</li>
<li>A whizz with systems like SIMS, Arbor, ParentPay, and Microsoft 365 (especially Outlook, Excel, Forms and SharePoint)</li>
<li>Calm under pressure, with the ability to manage competing priorities</li>
<li>Experienced in admin, office management or customer service (school experience is a bonus, but not essential)</li>
<li>Excited about making things better—more efficient, more effective, more joined-up</li>
<li>Up for rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in with everything from first aid to giving guided tours to new families</li>
</ul>
We can offer you:
<ul>
<li>A warm, inclusive and forward-thinking school community</li>
<li>A leadership team who welcome ideas and initiative</li>
<li>Children who bring joy, curiosity and character to every day</li>
<li>A role where your work really matters—where you can make a lasting difference</li>
</ul>
*The advertised hours and shift pattern can be adjusted. If you're interested in the role but would prefer fewer hours, please get in touch to discuss options.
