Headmaster's PA

An opportunity has arisen for an exceptional candidate to take on the role of Head’s PA to provide a comprehensive confidential support service to the Head and to be responsible for the efficient organisation of the Head’s Office. This is a key role within Fettes and requires someone who is highly experienced in managing a multi-faceted schedule while remaining always responsive to the individual needs of parents, pupils, staff and of course the Head.

The Head’s Office is a particularly busy one with many demands being placed on the Head himself, not least from prospective and current parents but also pupils and staff. There is a constant flow of people through the Office and the PA must be able to work in what is sometimes a high-pressure environment.

The ideal candidate will have worked closely with individuals at a senior level within an organisation and will be able to demonstrate very sound judgement, courtesy, patience and loyalty all mixed with a degree of firmness and resilience.  You must be pro-active and a self-starter, motivated to succeed and able to plan ahead and foresee problems as or preferably before they arise.  You will act as a filter on behalf of the Head to ensure that his time is used most effectively and ultimately to the benefit of the school as a whole.

If you would like further information prior to applying for this role, please contact Mrs Gill Joyner, HR Manager on  0131 241 1005.
