Our organisation is growing and we're looking for someone with great communication, IT literacy and organisational skills to join our team. You will proactively support the development of our internal and external communications and branding, including social media, to boost community engagement.

Flexibility will be required to attend out of hours scheduled local governing body meetings with adequate notice and within reason (approximately 12 times per year).

We are looking for a team player who is equally able to work autonomously. You will be a positive, collaborative and enthusiastic individual with a track record of excellent organisation and administration skills. You will also have strong IT literacy skills and the ability to interact with social media platforms.

Interested in one aspect of the role but not both? For the right candidates we would consider splitting the role.

We'll support you with opportunities to shine, feel positive about Monday mornings and to gain further skills and experience to support your career development. We also recognise the commitments people have outside work, and in return for your hardwork and commitment we can offer a degree of flexibility and support in how you achieve success in your role. As such, we welcome applications from individuals looking to work full time, part-time, term time only or all year round.

Above all, at Sussex Learning Trust you'll have the chance to make a difference to the educational experience and outcomes for children across our communities.
