Job overview
OBH are seeking to appoint a PA to the Headmaster, providing comprehensive administrative and secretarial support. It is a very exciting time to be joining our fantastic school, with significant investments in recent years, with numbers up year on year for the past three years.
Old Buckenham Hall is a day and boarding prep school in rural Suffolk. The School educates children from three to 13 years in a stunningly beautiful 80 acre site, OBH has evolved over the decades but retains a strong boarding ethos and sense of tradition allowing OBH pupils the chance to thrive and develop through access to a huge range of opportunities, both academic and co-curricular.
In May 2021 the School enjoyed a successful Focused Compliance and Boarding Inspection, and as this academic year has begun the School has welcomed record pupil numbers. It is a very exciting time to be joining the School.
OBH was inspected by ISI in May 2021. We were rated as Excellent in both categories with inspectors noting: ‘Pupils of all ages are energetic, enthusiastic, confident and happy learners.’ While the pupils were
‘well prepared for the next stage of their education which they embrace with confidence and excitement.’
We are looking to appoint staff, who are committed in their approach to education as well as keen to explore and contribute fresh ideas. Most importantly, we seek colleagues, who are willing to throw themselves into the broader life of the School, but do so with enthusiasm and a sense of humour. In return, we offer a beautiful working environment within rural Suffolk.
Safeguarding
Old Buckenham Hall School is committed to safeguarding children and expect all staff and volunteers to
share this commitment.
All successful applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post
including checks with any past employer and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
