Overview
As a school Admin Assistant, you will work closely with the Head Teacher, playing a key role in ensuring that everything runs as efficiently as possible. This role is far from a general administrator role, as you will be a key player in the success of the school. No two days are the same, and when you aren't organising paperwork and ensuring the reception service is spot on, you may be helping to gather supplies for lessons, spending time with our students, or even taking part yourself!

Thornycroft School will be a brand‑new, independent specialist day school providing high‑quality education for up to 70 pupils. Based in Oldham, Greater Manchester, the school will meet the diverse needs of pupils aged 5‑19 with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and Autism.
