• Builds positive working relationships at all levels.
• Thrives in a collaborative environment and enjoys working as part of a team.
• Can exercise sound judgement and maintain confidentiality at all times.
• Is proactive and able to anticipate needs rather than simply respond to instructions.
• Is adaptable and willing to support wider school operations when required.
• Remains calm, professional and solution-focused when managing competing demands.

Key Responsibilities:

• Act as the first point of contact for the Executive Head and leadership team, maintaining professionalism and discretion.
• Manage strategic diary scheduling to optimize time and avoid pressure points.
• Provide secretarial support including correspondence, minute-taking, proofreading, and research.
• Coordinate internal and external meetings, events, and hospitality arrangements.
• Maintain and update the school website and social media platforms with news and calendar items.
• Support the Development Office and assist with staff briefings and communications.
• Administer staff absence approval processes in line with internal procedures.
• Provide cover for reception duties and first aid on a rota basis (training provided).
• Contribute to major school events such as open days, examinations, and prizegiving.

Qualifications

• Strong administrative experience, ideally within an educational or professional setting.
• Excellent organisational and time-management skills and attention to detail.
• High levels of proficiency in Microsoft Office and confidence with digital tools.
• Ability to handle sensitive information with discretion.
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Flexible and collaborative approach to working within a team.
