Do you thrive on teamwork?

Do you love using your initiative and getting things done?

Do you want to really enjoy coming to work, where each day is different?

At Park Way Primary School, we’re looking for a people-person, a calm-in-the-storm presence, and a vital part of our school family.

Why Park Way?

Because this is a school where:

  • Children are kind, curious, funny and genuinely lovely to be around
  • Staff support each other, laugh together, and pull together when it matters
  • Our daily work is rooted in Respect, Resilience and Responsibility — values we live, not just display on the wall
  • Visitors are greeted warmly and everyone is made to feel they belong

About the Role

The hours are:-  Mon- Fri 8:30 - 15:30 term time only.

You’ll be the welcoming face of our school — the first smile at the door, the calm voice on the phone, part of the team that keeps things ticking behind the scenes.

  • Duties include:-

  • Be the welcoming first point of contact for parents, pupils and visitors, creating a warm, professional front‑of‑house experience
  • Manage daily school administration, including pupil records, correspondence, and maintaining accurate information systems
  • Support financial and organisational tasks, such as handling monies, orders, invoices and club administration
  • Provide administrative support for HR and recruitment, including DBS checks and maintaining safeguarding records
  • Help ensure the smooth, safe running of the school office in a busy and varied environment
  • Work closely with colleagues as part of a supportive, collaborative team, always keeping children at the centre

    Who We’re Hoping to Meet

    Someone who:

    • Is warm, professional, tidy and organised
    • Enjoys being part of a team that truly looks out for one another
    • Can stay calm, flexible and positive in a busy school environment
    • Shares our commitment to Respect, Resilience and Responsibility
    • Wants to work somewhere they are valued, supported and appreciated
    • Shows discretion and understands confidentiality and the importance of safeguarding.

    School experience is helpful — but the right attitude, warmth and teamwork matter most.

     In Return, We Offer:

    • A friendly, welcoming staff team
    • A school full of amazing children
    • Strong leadership, clear expectations and plenty of support
    • A role where your work genuinely makes a difference, every single day


    If you think that this might be the job you are looking for we would love to hear from you. Visits to the school are encouraged.
