Full-time; Mon-Fri – 8:15am to 4:15pm (flexible working considered).
Term-time plus INSET (39 weeks)
Grade: H4; pro rata
Stevenage ESC are currently recruiting for a motivated and organised Administration Assistant to join our enthusiastic and friendly team, which is dedicated to fostering a supportive environment for our students.
The Centre is a supportive, professional and forward-thinking provision catering for young people who are at risk of, or have been, excluded from schools. Our job is to re-engage them with education so that they can have a successful future.
To be successful in this role, the applicant must be a strong team player who can work off their own initiative whilst remaining a confident, empathetic and positive character in the Centre.
You will be joining a dedicated team of inspirational educators who always put young people at the heart of everything they do, ensuring that the diverse needs of our learners are met. This not only benefits their immediate learning experiences but also equips them for future industry challenges.
The successful candidate will bring experience of administration within a busy office setting. We value individuals who are self-motivated, well-organised, and demonstrate a strong ability to work collaboratively as part of a team. Attention to detail is paramount, alongside a sound understanding of IT, particularly Microsoft Office applications. While knowledge of SIMS/Bromcom would be advantageous, we are pleased to offer comprehensive training for those who may be unfamiliar with these systems.
The nature of our work often requires the ability to perform under pressure, particularly during peak times in the school year. Therefore, resilience and a sense of humour are important traits we seek in our candidates. You will be interacting with students, parents, and a range of professionals, which necessitates excellent communication skills.
Our school is firmly committed to safeguarding the children and young people in our care. As such, all post holders will be required to undergo a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check prior to commencement of role.
Should you require any further information, or if you wish to arrange a visit to the Centre, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Closing date for applications is 11.00pm on Sunday 15th December 2024
Shortlisted candidates will be contacted by 5.00pm on Friday 20th December 2024
Interviews will be held on Wednesday 8th January 2025
Employment start date will be as soon as possible thereafter, subject to all pre-employment checks being satisfactorily completed.
Early applications are encouraged, as if we identify the right candidate, the advert may close early.
