Golborne High School is a flourishing and heavily oversubscribed 11-16 secondary school, proud to provide an exceptional education for the children of Golborne and Lowton. We are one of a very small number of state comprehensive secondary schools in the North West to be judged Outstanding by Ofsted, and we are exceptionally proud of what this means for the pupils who attend our school and the staff who work here.

Alongside strong academic outcomes, our pupils experience a broad and ambitious curriculum and benefit from a wide range of opportunities for personal development beyond the classroom. We continue to build on our success as a beacon of excellence at the heart of our community, underpinned by high expectations, inclusivity and a relentless commitment to continuous improvement.

At Golborne High School, we believe our staff are our greatest asset. We are committed to supporting the wellbeing, development and professional growth of all colleagues, recognising the vital contribution that both teaching and support staff make to the success of our school and wider educational community.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, highly organised and motivated individual to join our support staff team as Data and Admin Assistant. This is an exciting opportunity to support the effective management of school data and administration systems whilst playing a vital role in ensuring that staff, pupils and leaders have access to accurate and timely information.

Working closely with the Whole School Data Manager and Senior Leadership Team, the successful candidate will support the collation, analysis and reporting of progress, achievement, behaviour and attendance data. The role will also involve supporting admissions processes, curriculum administration, examinations, GDPR compliance and a range of wider administrative functions across the school.

This varied role also includes supporting the management of digital media assets, assisting with GDPR enquiries and document redaction, providing support to IT Services with the upkeep of IT suites, and offering operational support within the Reprographics Department as required.

The successful candidate will have excellent organisational and IT skills, a high level of accuracy and attention to detail, and the ability to manage competing priorities effectively. They will be able to work both independently and as part of a team whilst maintaining the highest standards of confidentiality and professionalism.
