Assistant Senior School Secretary (Fixed-Term)
TES FE News
Date: 7 hours ago
City: London, England
Contract type: Full time
Job Overview
After a period of valued service to the School, our Assistant Senior School Secretary is taking a one-term leave of absence, and we are seeking to appoint her replacement. The role is broad, and, as is the case for all those working in schools, we can guarantee that no two days will be the same. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work closely with other administrative staff, forming part of the vital team who keep our School running. The post also involves constant contact with our wonderful pupils, who we know will welcome our new colleague with open arms.
The successful candidate will be required to carry out a wide range of administrative duties, including maintaining key records, managing communications with a range of stakeholders, and supporting the planning and running of major School projects and events. From time to time, all administrative staff may have to cover for other administrative staff and so an adaptable mindset and keenness to learn beyond their immediate remit will be essential. A person specification is below.
This role would suit someone with past experience of working in school administration. Equally, it might be attractive to someone just embarking on their career, including someone considering moving in years to come, for whom it would provide valuable hands-on experience in a school environment. The role is full time; however, the Principal is committed to inclusive recruitment, and so would be pleased to hear from candidates interested in a part-time, job-share opportunity.
The person specification is not necessarily a comprehensive definition of the post, nor does it specify how time will be apportioned between tasks. The post holder may be required to carry out other duties, not included in the person specification, as is reasonably required by the Principal from time to time. Overtime is not usually paid on these occasions.
The normal working hours are 8:00am-4:00pm or 9:00-5:00pm alternating with the other office staff. The post holder will have 30 working days’ holiday annually plus the bank holidays which fall outside term time, with all holidays normally taken during the School holidays. The School will comply with its statutory employer pension duties.
The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
Prior to employment with us, the successful candidate(s) will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
They will be required to produce evidence of qualifications, identity and the right to work in the UK. Two references will be taken up, one of which will be with the most recent employer. They will also be required to complete our Health Questionnaire.
