Advert

We are keen to appoint a School Secretary to join our dedicated, friendly team.

Are you a capable, dynamic and self-motivated person? A school office is a busy place and you do need many skills. You will need to provide an excellent level of administrative service in a busy and demanding school office environment.

  • the ability to be methodical, well-organised and observe confidentiality
  • a flexible approach to work
  • the ability to deal with money on a daily basis (for example, school trips, clubs)
  • a positive attitude and be in possession of a sense of humour!

A knowledge and understanding of school computer systems, in particular SIMS.net, would be an advantage. An understanding of school finance, or a willingness to train and learn, would also be an advantage.

In return we offer:

  • a superb location in which to work each and every day
  • an active school community with supportive parents
  • a friendly team
  • the second largest woodland area of any primary school in Kent
  • a commitment to continuing professional development

The successful candidate would be expected to work on all term time dates plus the five INSET days (39 weeks per year). Hours to be finalised depending on the experience of the successful candidate - 32 hours or 37 hours per week. Five days per week commencing at 8.15am.
