Full time (36 hours 40 minutes per week), full year

Permanent

Under the umbrella of the Cranmer Education Trust, the prestigious Blue Coat School is seeking to appoint an Administration Officer to work in our Teaching School Hub, a small but fast growing team which supports both the induction and the career development of new and existing teachers across a wide reaching network of schools in the North West.

This is a new role, reflecting the healthy growth of our teacher development programmes and the successful applicant will be pivotal to the smooth running of an increasingly busy operation through the provision of professional business and administrative support.  Teaching School Hubs are a new national initiative and there will be lots to learn but you will be fully supported with both on the job and formal training.  

To be successful in this role you must be a confident communicator who thrives on building positive working relationships. You need to be well organised with a strong customer focus.  The role is varied and challenging and there will be a steep learning curve but it will be extremely rewarding and you will have the benefit of being involved right at the start of an exciting area of growth for our school and Trust. 

You do not need to have worked in education, what is more important is that you are an excellent administrator who has the enthusiasm and commitment to be the best that you can be.  

The post offers:

• Opportunity to work within an enthusiastic, hardworking and supportive team at the Blue Coat School

• Support and opportunity for professional development in a Trust committed to success for all

• Access to Local Government Pension Scheme

This post is subject to a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check.

Please note CV’s are not accepted.

Closing Date: Monday 18th October 2021

Interviews: On or before 22nd October 2021
