Advert

The Office Manager role at Cobham is a unique opportunity to be at the heart of a truly special community. We are a small school with a small admin team, so the role is very varied and involves working with every single member of the school community. We pride ourselves on the levels of support we provide to our families and children, and our Office Manager will make everyone in our community feel valued and welcome, even under pressure! The Office Manager ensures excellent efficiency in the running of the school and keeps all of our processes and systems running to a high standard, particularly working with Local Authority administration functions, with our Finance Manager and with our site team. The role is incredibly varied and no two days are ever the same! The Office Manager is a flexible and adaptable role that is not all about being behind a desk, although administering the school’s operations efficiently is of course at the heart of it. The role has particular responsibility for working with personnel matters, attendance and the administrative aspects of school safeguarding - it is a position of great trust and responsibility in our school. Our Office Manager also leads on marketing and pupil recruitment - we are very lucky to be a school that is in high demand, which our Office Manager maintains by ensuring every potential new family has a very positive interaction with us from the start.
