The School is proud of its reputation for being inclusive, friendly and welcoming and one that focuses as much on the development of the whole person as much as it does on academic progress. We are seeking to appoint an efficient, exceptionally well organised person to be the Governance Professional and Company Secretary for the Governing Body.

The contract is for 7 hours per week over the 38 term time weeks per year. Any time worked outside of those hours will be paid overtime.

Applicants should have suitable experience in a senior administrative role with a proven track record in secretarial tasks, diary management and have the ability to communicate at all levels.
This varied and pivotal role requires the candidate to be versatile and forward thinking with excellent IT skills. The ability to multi-task the varied workload is essential, you will also be a confident team player with a natural ability to prioritise and build good working relationships.
