Job description

Write a short description of your company, a boilerplate of the business, service or product that you offer. Include your business idea and the target audience. This text is primarily supposed to be descriptive, not selling.



A large, oversubscribed secondary school in Manchester city centre is seeking an experienced and highly capable Senior School Administrator to join its established operations team from January 2026.

This is a school where systems matter. The administrative function is respected, well-embedded and central to the school’s success. The Senior Administrator works closely with senior leaders, pastoral teams and external agencies to ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the school and to maintain the calm, purposeful environment for which the school is known.

The Role

This is a senior, varied post requiring excellent organisation, judgement and discretion. You will act as a key operational link across the school, supporting leadership while overseeing essential administrative processes.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Managing front-office operations and setting professional standards for communication

  • Overseeing student records, admissions data and attendance systems

  • Coordinating administrative processes linked to safeguarding and compliance

  • Supporting senior leaders with documentation, reporting and scheduling

  • Line-managing administrative staff and supporting their professional development

  • Acting as a first point of contact for parents, visitors and external partners

The School Environment

The school operates with clear routines, strong leadership visibility and well-established systems. This role is proactive rather than reactive, with time allocated for planning and process improvement.

The Ideal Candidate

  • Significant experience in school or public-sector administration

  • Confidence using school management systems (SIMS, Arbor or equivalent)

  • Strong organisational and communication skills

  • A calm, professional approach under pressure

  • Absolute commitment to confidentiality and safeguarding

This is an excellent opportunity for an administrator seeking a respected, senior role within a stable and professional school environment.
