We are seeking to recruit an experienced Personal Assistant to join the workforce at a school which provides the very best education for the children in its care. Applicants should be able to demonstrate a high degree of practical skills and competence.  The PA to the Headteacher will work in close proximity with the Leadership Team in areas of high confidentiality on a daily basis.  Complete discretion is therefore of the utmost importance.

The successful applicant will offer exceptional secretarial and administrative skills and, whilst experience of working in an educational environment would be desirable, for the right candidate it is not essential.  The postholder will be able to work with initiative and foresight to a very high standard and contribute to the smooth running of the school’s management and administrative functions.  They should possess excellent communication skills in order to present the appropriate image of the school and strong organisational skills and flexibility to meet tight timescales.
