We are looking for a friendly, reliable and highly organised Administration Assistant to join our warm and welcoming school office team at Hardwick Primary School in the heart of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
This is a key role in the daily life of our busy and vibrant primary school. You will be the first point of contact for visitors and callers, so excellent communication skills, a professional manner and a friendly, approachable nature are essential.
You’ll need to be confident using a range of IT systems and office equipment, be able to prioritise tasks effectively, and have strong attention to detail. The role involves a wide variety of administrative and financial duties – including processing payments, maintaining accurate records, handling confidential information, and supporting the smooth running of clubs and school events.
You will:
* be efficient, flexible, proactive and take pride in your work
* be able to work both independently and as part of a team
* have good literacy, numeracy and IT skills (GCSE English and Mathematics grade C or above or equivalent)
* be able to manage multiple tasks and remain calm under pressure
* have a good understanding of confidentiality and safeguarding.
Previous experience in a school office or administrative setting is desirable, but not essential – full training and support will be provided.
We will offer you:
* a welcoming and inclusive school community with a strong team ethos
* a varied and rewarding role where no two days are the same
* supportive colleagues and leadership team
* opportunities for professional development
* a school that values respect, relationships, resilience, risk-taking and resourcefulness.
