We are looking to appoint a highly motivated, committed and experienced administrator with a warm, friendly and professional approach. As a key point of contact with parents, students and staff, you will enjoy interacting with all members of our community. You will thrive in a fast paced environment where no two days are the same, contributing to a welcoming and supportive environment, dealing with all enquiries effectively and maintaining confidentiality at all times.
The ideal candidate will hold a current first aid certificate or be willing to train.
As young people get only 950 days of secondary education, the securing of excellent attendance is a crucial first step to the best possible progress and attainment. The successful post holder will, therefore, be a highly motivated individual who combines energy and enthusiasm with a very systematic approach to work and impressive inter-personal skills.
The postholder works from the Student Services administrative office alongside the Student Services Secretary and Admissions Officer. This office acts as the reception point for students arriving to see the Heads of House and Student Managers, who work from the adjacent open-plan space.
The person appointed to this post will need to combine a calm approach with a desire to take personal initiative and think quickly when the situation requires it. The successful post holder will also display the ability to ensure accuracy in records and data, secure the engagement of staff with attendance procedures and promote improvements that will bring benefits to our students.
We endeavour to preserve a happy and caring environment that is rooted in our core values, and in which staff and students can flourish, whilst challenging ourselves to pursue excellence for all our students. The school is set in extensive grounds, ideally positioned between the thriving city of Manchester and the open countryside of the Peak District.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff to respect this commitment. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
