Are you a warm, organised and proactive individual with a passion for supporting children and families? Greatstone Primary School, part of the Lightyear Federation, is looking for a Nursery & School Administrator to join our friendly and dynamic team.

This vital role is the heartbeat of our school office — the first face visitors see and the first voice many of our families hear. You’ll play a key part in ensuring our administrative processes run smoothly, and that our children and their families feel welcomed and supported every day.

What You’ll Do:

• Be the welcoming first point of contact for parents, carers and visitors.

• Maintain accurate pupil and nursery records using Arbor, including health plans and census data.

• Coordinate communications across the school and nursery using Arbor and Class Dojo.

• Manage content on the school website and Facebook page to ensure it’s current and compliant.

• Support with admissions, including maintaining waiting lists, issuing correspondence and arranging parent meetings.

• Help organise school trips, events, clubs and extended care programmes, ensuring safeguarding and parental consent are in place.

• Provide key administrative support to the Business Director and Leadership Team.

What We’re Looking For:

• A highly organised and efficient administrator with a friendly and professional manner.

• Excellent communication and IT skills.

• Experience with school management systems (e.g. Arbor) is an advantage, but training will be provided.

• A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.

• The ability to prioritise, multitask and maintain confidentiality at all times.
