Job description

CORE PURPOSE

We require an organized, proactive Senior Administration Officer to lead and coordinate essential administrative operations across the school. Operating within an ambitious and inclusive environment, the successful candidate will manage key administrative processes, maintain accurate management information systems (MIS), oversee daily communications, and provide high-level administrative support to senior leadership and school staff.

THE SCHOOL

An 11–16 secondary school located in Camden, Central/North London. The school operates with centralized administrative and operational systems managed in close alignment with senior leadership to maintain structured, highly efficient workflows. The administration team works collaboratively, using modern digital communication platforms and database tools to keep staff workloads manageable. Clear operational protocols are established to ensure reprographics, student data entry, and parent communications are handled seamlessly.

KEY TASKS & DAILY OPERATIONS

  • Administrative Coordination: Oversee daily office operations, delegate administrative tasks, and ensure reception and secretarial support run effectively.

  • MIS & Data Management: Maintain and update student records on the school MIS (e.g., SIMS or Arbor), ensuring data integrity, attendance reporting, and support with statutory returns.

  • Stakeholder Communication: Manage external and internal communications, handling confidential correspondence, multi-channel parent notifications, and senior leadership briefings.

  • Event & Operations Support: Coordinate the administrative planning and logistics for key school events, open evenings, parents' evenings, and school photo sessions.

  • Financial & Compliance Admin: Assist with purchase orders, invoice processing, and ensuring all administrative routines adhere to GDPR and safeguarding standard operating procedures.

PROFILE REQUIREMENTS

  • Qualifications: Strong literacy and numeracy skills (GCSE Grade C/4 or equivalent in English and Mathematics). A relevant qualification in business administration or senior office practice is desirable.

  • Experience: Proven administrative experience in a senior administrative or office leadership role, ideally within a school, educational setting, or busy public sector organization.

  • Skills: Excellent organizational and time-management abilities, clear interpersonal communication skills, and high proficiency in ICT and school database software.

REGIONAL CONTEXT

  • Local Area & Community: Based in the culturally rich and vibrant London Borough of Camden, the school serves a diverse and dynamic community. Spanning iconic cultural landmarks, world-famous markets, historic residential squares, and green expanses like Regent's Park and Primrose Hill, the borough offers an exciting educational environment supported by ambitious local families.

  • Transport & Commuting: The school benefits from world-class transport connectivity, situated close to major central road arteries and key transport hubs. Transit options are extensive, with comprehensive local bus networks, multiple Underground lines (Northern, Jubilee, Victoria, and Metropolitan), Overground services, and direct Thameslink and National Rail connections via King's Cross St Pancras and Euston stations, making commuting effortless from across London and the Home Counties.
