School Administrator

Yardley Gobion Primary School have a vacancy for a School Administrator. The role is a varied and busy one running the school office. The school office is the engine room of the school which means you are often wearing many hats and juggling lots of jobs at once. One minute you could be dealing with a parent, answering the phone and door, helping a member of staff, completing a statutory return, raising an invoice and to top it all a child has been sent into your office and is about to vomit on your floor. You remain calm and professional under pressure, smile and prioritise instead of collapsing in a heap. Do not be fooled that the job is easy as at times it can be challenging but is enjoyable.

• Organised and efficient
• Have good listening skills
