Executive Assistant

Thank you for your interest in the post of Executive Assistant.

 We are a Trust of nine schools, all based in South East London. Whilst each of our schools maintains its individuality, we share a common mission: to ensure that every single child and young person in our care is successful at school so that they can flourish and be successful in their lives.

Borough Academy is a six-form entry, co-educational 11-18 school located on Southwark Bridge Road, on the former site of Southwark Fire Station. Having opened in September 2019 after stringent campaigning by local parents, we are growing steadily year-on-year with years 7 to 11 now on roll, and with preparations for sixth form provision well underway.

Borough Academy is firmly grounded in the values of our federation. The Haberdashers’ reputation is built on a tradition of high standards and academic excellence, and we are proud to continue this legacy by supporting every single student, and staff member, in reaching their full potential. 

About the role

The post holder will provide direct support tailored to the needs, expectations and ways of working of the school Principal.  This will require the EA to work flexibly to the needs and priorities of the Principal, and wider Senior Leadership Team, which may well be subject to constant change and unpredictable patterns of working. ​

 We are looking for an innovative and forward–looking individual who has exceptional organisational skills, high levels of flexibility and adaptability, and the ability to multitask and prioritise an everchanging workload. The successful post holder will inspire students and contribute fully to a very active and hardworking team.
