At St. Cuthbert’s Catholic Primary School we have high aspirations for all our children and work hard to help them improve – but we only focus our efforts on things that actually make a difference to good teaching and learning. We believe it is our privilege to serve our local community, and we do that best by providing an excellent, well-rounded education to all our children. 

An opportunity has arisen to join our team, and the governors wish to recruit a hard-working and dedicated individual to join our school as a part-time permanent Administrative Assistant. 

The main responsibility will be to provide general, clerical, administrative and financial support to the school, and also to be the first point of contact for visitors. Previous experience of working in a school and using a Management Information System (MIS) would be an advantage, but is not essential.

•    Good knowledge of administration procedures.
•    Experience of working in a busy office environment and the ability to carry out Reception duties in a confident, positive manner.
•    Can demonstrate excellent communication and organisational skills.  
•    Shows a commitment to high standards maintaining high-quality professionalism.                        
•    Be a team player who works well under pressure and will play an active part in school life.             
•    Undertake on the job training where necessary and be committed to high-quality service delivery.
•    Provide confidential and high-quality clerical support to the School Leadership Team 
•    Have experience of Microsoft Office packages and be confident with general IT use
