About the Role

We are currently recruiting experienced and reliable School Administrators to work within a number of schools across Blackpool.

We are looking for organised, professional and enthusiastic individuals who have strong administration skills and are confident working in busy, fast-paced environments.

This is a fantastic opportunity for candidates with previous school-based experience, as well as those looking to transfer their administrative skills from other professional settings, including the NHS, police, healthcare, local authority or other public sector organisations.

Key Responsibilities

• Providing general administrative and clerical support to the school office.

• Answering telephone calls and responding to emails professionally.

• Welcoming visitors, parents, pupils and staff.

• Maintaining accurate records, filing systems and databases.

• Supporting with pupil attendance, admissions and general school enquiries.

• Excellent communication and organisational skills.

• Strong IT skills and confidence using Microsoft Office.

• The ability to work independently and as part of a team.

• A professional, approachable and flexible attitude.

• Experience handling confidential and sensitive information.

• The ability to work in a busy environment and manage competing priorities.

Previous school-based administration experience would be advantageous but is not essential.

We would particularly welcome applications from candidates with backgrounds in the NHS, police, healthcare, local government and other public-facing professional environments, where strong administration, confidentiality and communication skills are essential.

Essential Requirements

• An Enhanced DBS certificate will be required, with the appropriate children's workforce check and barred list check where applicable to the role.

• A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.

• Satisfactory references and relevant pre-employment checks.

Why Apply?
