We are seeking a proactive and highly organised administrator to ensure the smooth daily operation of teaching cover across the school. This pivotal role involves managing and coordinating staff absence cover, supporting the approval process for leave of absence requests, and contributing to the planning and organisation of the school's examination invigilation timetable.



Woldingham is a happy and successful Catholic boarding and day school for girls aged 11 to 18 and is firmly established as one of the top girls' independent schools in the UK, outperforming many schools that are far more selective in their admissions process. Central to this achievement is Woldingham's academic enrichment and extra-curricular programmes, pastoral support and caring community. Close to London, yet in an outstandingly beautiful rural setting, Woldingham has a strong community and culture building on a proud heritage that stretches back 175 years. We are committed to an exciting future that is underpinned by fresh ideas, an innovative spirit and state-of-the-art facilities.



All staff receive free lunches and refreshments.
