Join us in making a difference at St Joseph's
The Key Responsibilities:
Provide confidential support to the Headteacher and Headship team.
Manage diaries, correspondence, and meeting logistics.
Lead on key school events including Prize Evening and Parents' Evenings.
Maintain and update the school calendar and MIS systems.
Oversee admissions and exclusions administration processes.
Liaise professionally with parents, staff, governors, and external agencies.
Support recruitment, staff absence tracking, and elements of data reporting.
What We're Looking For:
A highly organised individual with impeccable attention to detail and strong communication skills
Calm, tactful, and professional in all interactions.
Experienced in administrative work, ideally within education.
Skilled in operational support including event planning and problem solving
Committed to safeguarding and the ethos of our school.
The Hours:
Full time over 5 days per week. This is a full-time role, and while there may occasionally be a need to stay later for leadership meetings or school events, we'll work with you to flex your hours in a way that keeps things balanced and manageable.
Term time [38 weeks per year] plus 4 weeks during INSET and school holidays although we may consider a full year contract if that works best for the successful candidate and that would increase the pro-rata salary.
