KsENT Administrator

The Kent Special Education Needs Trust (KsENT) is a well-established Cooperative Foundation Trust of 26 special schools located across Kent. We are looking for an organised and proactive candidate who enjoys a varied and flexible workload and the opportunity to develop their skills and responsibilities within a small team setting.

The person we are seeking will be responsible for administrative support to the Trust including but not limited to: meeting, event and diary support; marketing and PR (including managing the website, social media accounts and portal); finance support; and networking and communicating across the 26 member schools. The administrator is also responsible for administering our ITT (teacher training) programme which will involve some flexible overtime home-based work during the school holidays.

Experience of administration at a senior level or within a school setting is desirable but not essential. Training will be provided on all aspects of the role. This is a permanent term-time contract with an office based at Five Acre Wood School although frequent travel to meetings across Kent is required and some flexible home-working is accommodated.

Please see attached job description for a full list of duties and responsibilities.
