iCollege Alternative Education supports learners aged 5–18 who cannot access mainstream schooling due to social, emotional, behavioural or attendance challenges. Across six West Berkshire sites, we work with families and partners to provide a personalised, holistic curriculum that helps every learner progress. We offer full time placements as well as flexible off site and short term on site packages to strengthen mainstream engagement.

We are seeking an organised, adaptable and proactive administrator to join our team. You will work closely with a supportive central admin team but will be based independently on specific sites. The role is varied and fast paced, and may at times involve supporting learners who are distressed or displaying challenging behaviour.

We are looking for someone who is motivated, calm under pressure, professional and highly confidential. Experience with SIMS is desirable, though full training will be provided. In return, we offer a supportive Leadership Team and ongoing professional development.

Closing date: Friday 12th June 2026 @ Noon

Interviews to take place on Week commencing 22nd June 2026
