Job Description

Horizons Specialist Academy Trust consists of Abbey Hill Academy & Sixth Form, Westlands Academy, Green Gates Academy and Hollis Academy. The Trust serves a population of 400 pupils and students aged 5 to 19 with a broad range of learning difficulties and social, emotional and mental health difficulties.

The Trust wishes to appoint two experienced administrators (part-time) to join our dynamic administration team to cover the maternity leave of the existing post holder. The post will be based at the Sheraton Building at Abbey Hill Academy 6th Form.  The main duties include greeting visitors to the academy, answering the telephone and other general administrative tasks around supporting the paperwork linked to Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP) meetings.

The successful candidate will have a friendly personality and possess excellent communication and keyboard/IT skills as well as the ability to show initiative in dealing with enquiries and providing support within the administration team. Applicants will have a minimum Level 2 qualification in a relevant discipline or appropriate experience. Experience of working in a school setting and knowledge of working with SIMS would be an advantage but not essential.

There is an expectation that all our staff will work across the Trust as necessary and the post holder may be asked to work at any of the offices across the four academies.

A visit to the academy would be recommended. To arrange this and/or to obtain an application form and further information please contact Julie Povall by emailing julie.povall@horizonstrust.org.uk.

Completed application forms should be returned by 12 noon on the closing date to: Julie Povall, HR Clerk, Abbey Hill Academy &Sixth Form, Ketton Road, Stockton-On-Tees. TS19 8BU or by email to julie.povall@horizonstrust.org.uk.
