Sir Charles Parsons School is seeking to appoint an administrative assistant with relevant experience (in a school or similar environment) to join our busy, friendly admin team, to start in September.  The post holder will be expected to be able to manage their own workload and respond to the many interruptions of a busy school office.  The successful applicant needs to be committed, flexible and motivated in their work.  Training and support will be provided to the successful applicant.
 
Sir Charles Parsons School is a secondary school (11 - 19) catering for students who experience significant and profound learning difficulties. This includes students whose behaviour may at times challenge those supporting them. The school was judged by Ofsted to be an ‘outstanding school’ after its last five inspections in October 2006, June 2010, March 2015, January 2019 and July 2024.
 
The school is strongly committed to safer recruitment practice and pre-employment checks will be undertaken before any appointment is confirmed. All posts are subject to enhanced disclosure and barring service checks. We expect all adults to share our commitment to safeguarding and the health and wellbeing of our students and staff.
 
As a disability confident employer, we are committed to employing disabled people and people with health conditions making reasonable adjustments to support disabled applicants when required.
