Salary: Grade BG6, Scale Point N6 to N7. Salary £21,968 to £22,369 pro-rata.

Role: 37 hours per week, Monday to Friday inclusive, with a mix of start and end times from 08.00am and 16.30pm to cover our office hours (to be discussed and finalised at interview).

We are looking for a 37 hours per week School Office & Finance Administrator, to be part of our brilliant and busy school office team. Our team is committed to improving the outcomes for our children by providing high quality support to our learning environment, and we want to find a team member who will share our commitment and ethos, and who will make a positive contribution to our team. 

The Candidate:

The successful candidate will be a positive, calm and professional individual to provide a range of administration and front-of-house tasks in a busy, friendly and fast-paced environment.

The successful candidate will ideally be able to demonstrate:

• excellent administration skills with a high level of attention to detail
• strong initiative and problem-solving talents
• good IT skills
• willingness and capacity to learn new skills and embrace process improvement
• well-developed communication skills, including front-of-house and an excellent telephone manner

Other desirable skills and experience:

• experience of finance administration
• experience of working in a school office
• SIMS database knowledge
• experience of first aid and safeguarding

In return we offer a strong, supportive, friendly team environment, with motivated, well behaved children, opportunities to get involved in whole school and wider community events and a strong commitment to your professional development.

Visits to the school prior to application are possible by arrangement. Please telephone the school office to arrange a visit.
