The opportunity
Our client, a leading international school in London, is looking for a very strong school administrator to support its Middle School office. This is a jack of all trades role; Front-of-house, PA and admissions administrator. This is a role at the beating heart of a busy campus and is incredibly fast-paced.
The school is a thriving community of around 1,400 students, with the Middle School making up roughly a third. You will be part of a close-knit office team, working alongside a second Middle School PA, the Middle School Aides, and a separate Admissions department.
The role

- Owning attendance tracking for the entire Middle School, keeping records accurate and up to date and preparing regular reports on trends and concerns
- Liaising with teachers, parents and other school departments on attendance and student matters
- Recording and reporting data on the school’s management system (Veracross)
- Acting as the first point of contact from the front desk, greeting students, parents, staff and visitors
- Coordinating cover and substitutes, supporting field trips (trip packs, risk assessments, consent forms) and maintaining student files
- Working closely with the Middle School Aides to keep the office running smoothly
- Getting involved in school life, including events and co-curricular activities
- Previous administrative experience, within a school setting
- Confident and IT savvy, with strong spreadsheet skills and quick to learn new systems
- Experience with Google Suite and databases is essential; Veracross or other school data/LMS systems would be a significant advantage
- Experience managing attendance records is desirable
- Highly organised, with excellent attention to detail, proofreading and written and verbal communication skills
- Able to thrive in a fast-paced environment, pick things up quickly and handle the demands of a large school
- Tactful, personable and professional with a diverse community of students, parents and staff
- A proven commitment to safeguarding and the welfare of children
- Looking for a long-term home, with the school hoping to find someone who will commit for several years
