We’re now looking to recruit an Administrator to lead reprographics and displays and support our busy office team. You will also cover reception every Friday and for the last hour of each day.
If you have excellent communication, organizational and IT skills and have a genuine desire to help contribute to the education of young people, we want to hear from you!
Closing date for applications is 9.00am on Friday 9 December.
Interviews will take place on a rolling basis so early application is advised.
The academy reserves the right to close this advertisement early if we receive a high volume of suitable applicants.
Applicants must be qualified up to and have passed GCSE Maths and English at grade C or above.
Ark is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people in its academies. To meet this responsibility, its academies follow a rigorous selection process to discourage and screen out unsuitable applicants.
Ark requires all employees to undertake an enhanced DBS check. You are required, before appointment, to disclose any unspent conviction, cautions, reprimands or warnings under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975. Non-disclosure may lead to termination of employment. However, disclosure of a criminal background will not necessarily debar you from employment - this will depend upon the nature of the offence(s) and when they occurred.

This post is covered by Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) and therefore the ability to speak fluent English is an essential requirement for the role.

Values and vision
At Ark Putney we have a holistic view of educating young people. Our mission statement is;
Preparing every student to be a pillar of any community
By this we mean that we are focusing on developing students to be the very best they can be in all aspects of their lives not only through academic progress but also by developing the soft skills that will enable students to be successful in the world such as good manners and the ability to speak confidently combined with the desire to participate through sport, the arts and contributing to charity and community projects.
This can be illustrated by our core purpose, which is to provide students with:
- An appreciation and curiosity for life and learning
- The courage and ambition to unlock and fulfil their potential
- A desire to contribute to society in a positive way
- A sense of self –awareness, combined with the integrity to be compassionate towards others
The main drivers for this are our Six Pillars as listed below. These permeate academy life and can be seen in everything that we do, think and say at APA. They are also a focus of our assemblies, reflections and tutorial activities. They help to guide us in how we behave, what we do and what kind of people we want to be:
- Effort
- Team work
- Community
- Enthusiasm
- Commitment
- Independence
In March 2017, Ofsted rated the academy as good in every category and highlighted our students’ progress and achievement at GCSE and in sixth form. The full report can be read here.
