Castle EAST School is seeking a calm, friendly, and professional Administrative Assistant to join our admin team, to start as soon as possible.
This is an excellent opportunity for an individual who shares our commitment to providing the very best outcomes and support for our children and their families.
As the successful candidate, you will provide effective and efficient administrative support across the school, undertaking a wide range of general office duties. The role requires a commitment to maintaining high standards of service, building positive relationships, and communicating effectively with colleagues, pupils, parents, and carers.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will have:
- Excellent IT skills, including proficiency in Microsoft Office applications.
- Strong organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise workloads effectively.
- Previous administrative experience, ideally within an educational setting.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- A proactive and adaptable approach, with the confidence to use initiative when required.
- A clear understanding of confidentiality and the importance of handling sensitive information appropriately.
- The ability to work collaboratively as part of a team while also managing tasks independently.
Working in a school environment is both rewarding and varied. At times, the role can be fast-paced and demanding, requiring flexibility and resilience. The successful candidate will be able to respond effectively to changing priorities and unexpected situations, always maintaining a professional and positive approach.
