• Helping to organise and coordinate agency staff arrangements
• Completing general administrative tasks to support all departments across the operation
• Occasionally supporting front-of-house counter service during busy periods
• Communicating professionally with a range of stakeholders, including our own team, the school client, and the senior management team

Our ideal Administrator will:
• Have proven experience using Microsoft Excel and be comfortable working with data
• Demonstrate exceptional attention to detail, particularly when handling figures and producing documents
• Be a confident communicator, able to adapt their style across different audiences including school staff, clients, and senior leaders
• Be highly organised and able to manage their own workload effectively, prioritising tasks to meet deadlines
• Be reliable, trustworthy, and committed to maintaining high standards at all times
