Job overview
Full time, all year round.
Chiswick School is looking to recruit a high-calibre individual to join them as a Personal Assistant working with the Head Teacher and Senior Leadership Team. You will be required to provide a confidential and personal administrative service, including managing the busy diary of the Head Teacher, taking minutes at confidential meetings and effectively prioritising a multi-faceted workload. The role requires absolute confidentiality and the use of diplomacy and tact at all times. You must be an excellent communicator, both orally and in writing, and have exceptional administrative and organisation skills.
Previous experience of working within a school environment would be an advantage. Flexibility is crucial to meeting the demands of a large school, as is the ability to build effective relationships with families, students, staff, Governors and the wider school community.
Benefits go beyond pay with staff sports and gym facilities freely available, a thriving community spirit and social scene, childcare vouchers and free parking, and all in the context of an over-subscribed academy of 1,300 students situated in the beautiful west London suburb of Grove Park, next to Chiswick Park and the River Thames, with good rail links into central London.

Our vision is that we do whatever it takes to ensure every student achieves their full potential. Over the last year we have made rapid progress in our classrooms and we are delighted that Ofsted has recognised how far we have come. Over the next four years we are aiming to become one of the finest schools in London providing students with exceptional opportunities in and out of the classroom.
Chiswick School is full of adults who care deeply about children and we pride ourselves on the positive relationships we build with students. We are a family which includes parents and carers, teachers, other school staff and the community; with the child placed firmly at the centre of all that we do and the decisions that we take.
Our teaching and support colleagues are our most valuable resource and we work hard to provide a balanced and enjoyable working environment. A new Wellbeing Strategy is being implemented to enhance what we are already doing to support our staff.
"Staff praise leaders for the improvements that have been made. They said that leaders take their workload and well-being seriously. Staff morale is high. They are committed to playing their part in the continued improvement of the school." - Ofsted, January 2020
