School Administrator

Fixed-Term, Full-Time, Term-Time Plus 2 Weeks

Salary Range:  £34,003 - £35,978 per annum, full-time, full-year. The pro rata equivalent is £28,510 - £30,166 per annum. 

We are seeking to appoint a School Administrator and this role reports to the School Office Manager (SOM). The role description is a deliberately flexible one, so that an Administrator can be deployed across a number of different areas of the school, such as (but not limited to): the Sixth Form Team, the School Office, the Languages Faculty. Hence, when an Administrator is deployed to a particular area primary line management responsibility is delegated by the SOM to the line manager of that area (e.g. the Director of Sixth Form if deployed to the Sixth Form Team). The responsibilities of an Administrator are to assist the area to which they are deployed through the provision of administrative support. In order to balance workload an Administrator may, from time to time, be assigned additional tasks by the SOM. This position is available from 1 September 2024 until 4 July 2025; whilst the role description is relatively generalist, it is anticipated that the successful candidate will initially join the Languages Faculty as Languages Faculty Administrator. A more detailed conversation around specific responsibilities anticipated to be fulfilled by the successful candidate will take place at interview.

In return we offer a generous salary and benefits package including a money purchase pension scheme (plus Life Assurance Cover), Employee Discount Club, and a range of family-friendly benefits and season ticket loan.

We welcome applications from all parts of our community as we aspire to attract staff that match the social and cultural diversity of our student intake.

For any queries, please telephone Human Resources on 020 8688 9222 or e-mail SchoolHR@whitgift.co.uk.

Applications will be reviewed daily, and we invite interested candidates to apply as soon as possible.
