PA to Executive Headteacher

Are you enthusiastic, passionate and have a good sense of humour? We would love to hear from you.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced and highly organised individual to provide efficient support to the Executive Headteacher in support of the AMAT’s strategic objectives. The successful applicant will have experience of working as a Personal Assistant at a senior level, will have excellent keyboard and IT skills and the interpersonal skills to engage with all stakeholders. 

As the first point of contact for the Executive Headteacher, you will ensure the smooth running of the Executive Headteacher’s diary on a day-to-day basis. You will be confident working in a fast-paced and demanding changing educational environment and will play an important role in supporting the Executive Headteacher in leading the Academies across the Trust. You will be able to prioritise to meet varied demands with precision. You must be able to remain calm under pressure, show initiative and have a great attention to detail. 

The successful applicant will handle highly confidential matters and work with the utmost trust and sensitivity, handling sometimes complex situations with staff, students and parents. Due to the nature of the job, the successful candidate will need to be flexible to support the needs of the Executive Headteacher and the SLT. 

You will be working in a GOOD school. Our Ofsted in November 2017 highlighted our many Good and Outstanding features. We are the highest performing school in North Solihull with a positive Progress 8 score for the last two years of publication. Our percentage of Grade 5 or above in the Basics has continued to improve year on year and this reflects our desire to be Outstanding. We are a school with a very strong Sixth Form with results among the best in the country. 

We promise to offer you both a stimulating and highly rewarding experience in return for your motivational skills and good practice. Come and visit us – you will not be disappointed. Exceptional candidates may be interviewed prior to the closing date.
