Senior Administration Assistant

We have a fantastic opportunity for a new role of Senior Admin Assistant with PA duties to the Leadership Team, to join our team at Richard Lee School. We are seeking to appoint an experienced administrator to oversee and co-ordinate the day to day running of the school office, as well as supporting our Senior Leadership Team with high quality administrative support.

The role will be a varied one and will be well supported by the Centralised HR and Finance Teams in the Trust. You will oversee all school administration duties, and be involved in HR administration, including recruitment, new starter processes, employee absence and payroll.  You will also provide PA support as and when required to the Leadership Team.

This is a wonderful opportunity to gain some really valuable experience and to put your strong IT and administrative skills to the test, working closely with a range of stakeholders in a very professional, supportive and friendly environment.

We will be looking for excellent communication, IT and organisational skills, a discrete, professional, flexible, ‘can do’ attitude and the ability to prioritise and make sound decisions. You will be able to quickly establish credibility with a range of stakeholders. Equally important is the will to offer an outstanding customer service to all students and staff. 

This fulfilling role will provide a wealth of developmental opportunities. Every day will be different and we will play to your strengths. We have a strong commitment to staff wellbeing and recognition through our wellbeing committee and people strategy, and offer a range of benefits which include the local government pension scheme, cycle to work, discounted gym membership, free parking and an employee discount scheme.
