Job overview
The Manor Learning Trust is a forward thinking and expanding Multi Academy Trust. There are currently 3 Academies in the Trust and this will shortly grow to 5.

You will work collaboratively with other staff to support the effective running of the Trust. You will be proactive in arranging regular Trust meetings for both internal and external stakeholders, preparing agendas and minute taking. The ability to contribute to the development of the Trust’s marketing and communication strategy would be advantageous but not essential. The successful candidate will have:

· Competent IT skills and familiarity with a range of software packages
· Flexibility, reliability and the ability to prioritise and manage deadlines
An awareness of the Education system is an advantage but not essential. The PA will become part of the growing Central Services team so this is a fantastic opportunity to be able to contribute to the development of effective systems, processes and initiatives and expand your skills set.
