• First aid response for minor injuries and well-being concerns
• Attendance administration, including daily monitoring and parent communication
• Parent liaison, providing excellent customer service and clear communication
• Supervision of students, supporting behaviour
• General administrative duties to ensure the school runs efficiently

What We’re Looking For:

• Friendly, approachable and confident communicating with pupils and families
• Highly organised with strong administrative and IT skills
• Calm under pressure and able to multitask effectively
• Reliable, proactive and ready to get stuck into a range of responsibilities
• Experienced in a school environment (preferred but not essential)

Why Apply?

• A welcoming and supportive team
• A role where no two days are the same
• The chance to make a real difference to children and families each day
• Ongoing development and training opportunities

If you’re someone who enjoys variety, thrives in a busy environment and wants to play a key part in school life, we’d love to hear from you.

Please send your CV and a short cover note to Ben. Early applications are encouraged - we will be interviewing on a rolling basis.
