Truro Nursery School

Truro Nursery School is one of only two maintained Nursery Schools specialising in early years education in Cornwall. We have an outstanding Ofsted grade and we offer 90 places to children who are 2, 3 and 4 years old. We are part of a federation of Nursery Schools in Cornwall alongside Camborne Nursery School.

Vacancy for School Secretary with Financial Responsibilities

We have a vacancy for a school secretary with financial responsibilities (front of house) to start as soon as possible. The hours are Monday to Friday 8.30am to 4pm (30 minute break for lunch) term time only plus an additional 5 days to be worked outside of term time as agreed with the headteacher.

The role is based at Truro Nursery School but applicants may be expected to work across the federation if needed.

Opportunity for Professional Development

You will have a fantastic opportunity to upskill and expand on your own professional development within the role.

Role Requirements

We are looking for a competent, very organised, friendly and reliable individual who can manage their own workload and time well to join our skilful, longstanding team who are dedicated to providing quality, holistic nursery education and first class family support.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
