About the Role 

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to make a real difference to their community.  As Senior Administrator, you will provide senior clerical and administrative support to the academy.  You will be managing and overseeing the academy's recruitment and onboarding activities in cooperation with the Trust's People Directorate.

About us:

Our Academy opened in September 2014. Our staff team have established an excellent learning environment, clear routines and very high expectations for our children. Our parents are committed to supporting us in achieving the best for their children and speak highly of the work that we do. We encourage parents and the wider community to work closely with us and regularly have visits within our local area that provide excellent learning opportunities for our children. These ‘real’ experiences are ones that they remember and that they will talk about for many years to come. 

Our Academy has fantastic facilities, an outstanding teaching and learning team and most importantly, strong values. Being respectful, polite and fair are essential attributes for all children and adults to enable them to achieve their full potential. These values are very important to me. 

We will ensure that you, our parents, are well informed, staff are clear about their roles and that our children can learn in a safe, stimulating and creative environment that supports their individual needs. For more information please visit https://www.beaconprimaryacademy.org/
