School Admin Assistant

Job Description

Location: Sheffield
Contract: Temporary
Start Date: ASAP
Salary: £100–£120 per day, dependent on experience

PK Education are working with a secondary school in Sheffield who are looking to appoint an experienced School Administrator to join their support team.

This is a busy, front-facing administration role within a mainstream secondary school, supporting the day-to-day running of the school office. The successful candidate will need to be confident dealing with staff, students, parents and external visitors while managing a varied administrative workload.

Please note: previous UK school administration experience is essential for this role. The school are specifically looking for somebody who is already familiar with working in a UK education setting and can confidently use a school management system such as Arbor, SIMS or Bromcom.

This is not a role where the school can provide extensive training on school systems, so applicants without previous experience using one of these systems will unfortunately not be suitable.

The Role

• Providing general administrative support across the school
• Working on the main school reception when required
• Dealing with parents, students, staff and visitors
• Managing telephone and email enquiries
• Updating student records and attendance information
• Using Arbor, SIMS or Bromcom to access and maintain school data
• Supporting with letters, reports and general school communications
• Carrying out a range of additional administrative duties as required

Essential Requirements

• Previous experience working in administration within a UK school
• Confident user of Arbor, SIMS or Bromcom
• Experience working with student data and school records
• Strong IT and administrative skills
• Excellent communication and organisational skills
• Ability to work independently in a busy school office

This Role Would Suit

An experienced School Administrator, Receptionist or Attendance Administrator who is already familiar with the pace and demands of a UK school environment and is comfortable picking up a role without requiring extensive system training.

If you have strong administration experience but have not previously worked within a UK school or used Arbor, SIMS or Bromcom, this particular role is unlikely to be suitable.
