Job overview
Office Manager
Required Full Time
£32,029-£33,799
This is a unique opportunity for the right candidate to join an energetic, creative and forward thinking Senior Team as Office Manager at a school that is undergoing a major transformation.
The reason that this is such an exciting opportunity is due to the fact that The John Bentley School is closing on Monday 22nd July for the final time. In its place will be a brand new school, Kingsbury Green Academy, which is part of the successful Royal Wootton Bassett Academy Trust. This change of identity will encompass all elements of school life and will mean that Kingsbury Green Academy is closely aligned with the vision and values of the Trust. So, although you are applying to The John Bentley School at this point in time, you will actually form part of the new Kingsbury Green Academy and will therefore be in a position to shape the future direction of the school.
As Office Manager you will work with the Senior Team and Trust Team to manage the support function of the school. The ideal candidate will have experience or knowledge of working in an education setting, have HR, H&S and similar relevant experience.
Full details of skills required and a full Job Description can be found in the application pack.

We are committed to achieving excellence together by:
- Challenging ourselves to seize every opportunity to grow and develop.

- Encouraging every individual to be bold, courageous and aspirational.

OUR FACILITIES
The school has superb facilities which include: 13 Science Labs, a Design and Technology complex, digital media centre and the latest computer-aided design and ICT facilities.
Sport is important at Kingsbury Green and we enjoy a sports hall, gymnasium, tennis courts and 33 acres of sports fields, as well as the use of the neighbouring ‘Calne Community Campus.'
The Arts are supported with Art and Design studios, a photography dark room and processing facilities, fully equipped Drama studios and three purpose-built music rooms with practice rooms for instrumental tuition.
