Sports Hall Administrator

Emanuel School is seeking an experienced Administrator to play a key role overseeing administrative work in our large and thriving sports department.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an ambitious sports department where you will be instrumental in building the profile of sport at Emanuel School and in South West London.

You will provide administrative support with a focus on supporting all aspects of the school’s sports facilities. This will include updating the sports website, ensuring all forthcoming fixtures are listed, as well as acting as the first point of contact, responding to pupils, parents, and staff regarding sports issues. You will also order and maintain sports equipment, supplies and first aid kits, replacing used stock and ordering supplies when necessary. 

The role also includes the organisation of events, including the sports awards evening, as well as regular communication with all areas of the school and wider community.

This is a fixed term post for six months for the purpose of covering a maternity leave. Predicted dates are May 2024 – October 2024.

About you

You will need previous experience of delivering an efficient and organised administrative support service within an educational or sporting environment. Proficiency in the use of Microsoft Word, Excel, and database software is equally important. 

You will be highly efficient and driven to work in a fast-paced environment. You should have a keen eye for detail to ensure the smooth running of a busy programme.

You will also need to be able to update website content.

An interest in sport is desirable. If you are a driven and highly organised individual who is happy to contribute to all areas of the school, we will be delighted to hear from you.

Working at Emanuel

There is a genuine buzz at the school. Colleagues enjoy their work and, like the pupils, are ambitious for the school.

Everyone works hard here, and anyone joining the school should expect to do so. There’s a strong sense of community and source of friendship. From the briefing to all staff, to the half termly staff meetings, termly consultative group meetings and a common room committee, there’s ongoing dialogue about the school’s aims.

We aim to look after our staff too. We have an appraisal scheme with a focus on the employee’s professional development; we sponsor postgraduate courses and a range of training opportunities; we offer a healthcare plan via Simply Health that includes counselling and medical support; and we’re committed to supporting staff wellbeing. On a more practical level, all staff benefit from good pension provision and free lunches.

Additional benefits include:

• Discounts in local shops, restaurants and businesses
• Season ticket loans and a ride to work scheme
