We are seeking to appoint a reliable, friendly, organised and trustworthy administrative assistant to join our existing team of wonderful staff in our Learner Reception. We're looking for a genuine team player, with a kind and empathetic approach and a willingness to go the extra mile for our school community. Responsible for dealing with all manner of issues relating to the everyday health and wellbeing of our learners, you will be required to manage and administer medication and first aid to learners whilst also liaising with parents, staff and external agencies to ensure the smooth operation and administration of the Medical Room.
Working as part of a team that includes the administration of Attendance and Reprographics, there may be times where you will be called upon to support other team members. A flexible attitude with a willingness to step in, is therefore essential.
No two days are the same in Learner Reception. If you're looking for an administrative role which directly impacts our young people and allows you to approach every aspect of your job in a kind, highly organised and pragmatic way, then this could be the role for you.
Whilst we are ideally looking for an experienced administrator with previous medical or education experience, we are willing to provide all of the necessary medical training to the right person. We are primarily looking for someone whose own values align with our inclusive culture; someone who understands our core values; someone who respects and embraces the individuality of every member of our school community.
We offer:
A high achieving School producing excellent outcomes and well-rounded children
An approach based on shared responsibility & teamwork, which values every member of our community
An environment that promotes trust and ownership in all that we do
Excellent induction and training, to include first aid training if needed
Ongoing Employee Wellbeing support with access to Counselling services, CBT and Coaching
