The Governors are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, highly motivated and well-organised School Administrator who can demonstrate strong interpersonal skills and maintain high standards within the school office environment.

Excellent communication and administrative skills are essential, along with the ability to work as part of a highly motivated team. Experience of using school Management Information Systems and a cashless parent payment system such as, School Hub, is desirable but not essential, as training will be given.  Must be willing to engage in training for new management systems as required. Good IT skills are essential. Some understanding of financial procedures would be beneficial but not essential. The post does require working closely with our school finance administrator as required.

The office is a busy, happy place of work.  The administrator is most likely to be the first point of contact for visitors to school and as such will represent the ethos of our establishment.

The successful candidate will be able to work efficiently and to a very high standard whilst retaining a sense of humour, a strong sense of team involvement and a positive attitude. A high degree of confidentiality is essential. The ability to work flexibly, use your own initiative and multitask is essential. 

Ramsden Infant school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Appointments will be subject to pre-employment checks which will include satisfactory references, Right to Work in the UK, an enhanced DBS check for regulated activity (to include a children’s barred list check) and a work place health assessment.

Visits to the school are encouraged; please contact Jo Pooley at 01229 840950, jcpooley@ramsden.cumbria.sch.uk
