Rickmansworth School is an 11-18 heavily oversubscribed co-educational partially (35%) selective academy with nearly 1400 students on roll, increasing to around 1575 students over the next five years. Academic results are strong at KS4 and KS5 with the vast majority of students securing their first choice university destinations.

The School is in a very strong, stable financial position with over £4M recently spent on school expansion including a new Sixth-form centre, performing arts theatres and an Innovation & Design Centre. The School is also supported extremely well by a fantastic PTA and Foundation. Our outstanding staff well-being programme includes access to our fitness suite and swimming pool, flu vaccinations and complimentary eye tests. Our students enjoy learning and are an absolute pleasure to teach. We believe every child deserves the best and we aim to achieve excellence in all aspects of school life. The School’s admissions criteria gives preference to staff members’ children.

We are seeking an Administrative Officer; this is a varied role which will involve assisting in the day to day running of the school administrative services and providing support to the Head’s  Executive Assistant and Director of Finance.

The successful candidate will also provide cover and support for the main reception team on an ad hoc basis.  Ideally this role would also hold a first aid certificate (or be prepared to undertake training). This post requires attention to detail, an ability to use initiative, organise workloads and meet deadlines. 

Experience in a similar role within the education sector is preferable but training will be given to candidates with the suitable skill set obtained in other sectors.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and are an equal opportunities employer.  Applications must declare any criminal convictions and submit to a check with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) as the post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
