About the Trust
Ebor Academy Trust is a family of schools located
across North and East Yorkshire, York and the Humber region. We
think of ourselves as being one school across many sites, working
collaboratively to deliver high quality, rich and engaging education in our
diverse communities. Our aims are to enable all our learners to flourish
and to open doors for their very best futures.
We genuinely seek to live by our values of
Excellence, Belonging, Opportunity and Respect; these underpin how we work and
how we relate to each other. We have high ambitions for our
learners and staff and aim to deliver this through a culture of continuous
development, support, kindness and understanding. We are a friendly trust
that puts people first.
About the role
Working within a busy school office and closely with the Operational Business Partner, you will be responsible for a range of receptionist and clerical duties. Central to this will be to provide a welcoming and efficient first point of contact for parents and visitors to the school, whether at the front desk, on the telephone, or by email.
In addition, you will use a variety of IT systems
to record school data, produce reports and generate letters and other
communications. You will also take responsibility for recording and
monitoring pupil absences and reporting on this as appropriate. You will also
oversee the first aid provision within the school.
The postholder will undertake a full range of administrative and clerical support services to ensure the smooth running of the school office and administrative functions. The postholder will oversee the front of house, reception and first aid provision of the school. It is 15 hours per week, across 3 days. Ideally we would like Tuesday. Wednesday and Friday 9:30-2:30 however we may be flexible with hours and days.
The job requirements
We are looking for a highly competent and
experienced Administrator who is able to manage the systems and
processes in our busy school effectively. As well as being a confident and
capable user of various IT systems, you will also be willing to learn how to
operate our various software packages to allow the smooth running of our school
office.
Whilst experience of working in an education setting
is highly desirable, it is not essential however you will have an understanding
of special educational needs, child protection and safeguarding issues, as well
as excellent organisational and time management skills.
You will be driven by providing good customer
service in all that you do for the benefit of our most important people – our
children. A commitment to keeping children safe and the ability to
respect the values of the school are also of fundamental importance.
Working with us
Although our administrative staff work in small
school-based teams, the systems used are the same across the trust, meaning
help and support is never far away. We ensure full training is provided,
whether it’s through courses, apprenticeships or coaching and mentoring.
What is essential is the desire to learn and a commitment to providing
excellent customer service at all times to school staff, parents and our
pupils.
We offer generous terms and conditions of
employment. All our staff have access to a comprehensive Wellbeing
Programme to help you and your family stay healthy. This includes access
to free private GP and nurse appointments, exercise advice and classes, plus a
variety of specialist clinics as well as counselling services. We also
offer significant discounts on many high street shops, online retailers and
travel agents, not to mention free car parking at all our schools, an enviable
pension scheme, sick pay and family friendly policies.
The Trust is striving to be an inclusive and
diverse organisation, where everyone feels able to be themselves and
experiences a strong sense of belonging. The Trust wholeheartedly supports the
principle of equality and diversity in employment and opposes all forms of
unfair or unlawful discrimination on the grounds of age, disability, gender
reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race,

retention and career development of people from as wide a range as possible of
ethnic, cultural and social backgrounds and seek to develop a community of
staff that accurately represents society as a whole. All applications for
employment with the Trust will be considered against the criteria outlined in
the person specification for the position advertised.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the
welfare of children. We follow safer recruitment practices and appointments are

that all applicants need to complete the online form in full as we are not able
to accept CVs. Please see the Trust’s Recruitment Policy for
