The Ideal Candidate
We are looking for an exceptionally organised individual with strong communication, administration and time-management skills.
Previous experience as a PA, Executive Assistant, Senior Administrator or School Business/Administration professional would be highly desirable. Experience within a school or SEN setting would be advantageous, but isn't essential for the right candidate.
You will need to be calm under pressure, highly organised, discreet and confident dealing with senior leaders and multiple stakeholders.
If you're looking for a senior administrative role within a specialist SEN school where you can become a key member of the leadership support team, apply today.
