School Secretary (Mondays and Tuesdays)

The School Secretaries are the “go to” people for all staff in terms of stationery, printing, ticketing and seating plans for special internal events, post, school buses, and general enquiries. They are also the first point of contact for contractors and delivery drivers visiting the school. In addition to greeting contractors and answering telephone calls, the School Secretary is heavily involved in providing high quality administrative and clerical support, including providing cover for job share partners and other administrative colleagues during absences to ensure continuity of service. This role extends beyond the core front office duties and includes supporting a range of school departments as business needs require. This may involve helping with sports administration, facility lettings and other operational areas during busy periods or for specific events as well as private hire bus coordination. The post holder must be flexible, organised, a problem solver, skilled in Microsoft Office and able to adapt quickly to varied and changing tasks within a busy school setting. This is a part-time position, all year round, working 8.30am to 4.30pm on Mondays and Tuesdays and reports to the Head of Administrative Support.
