What impact could your organisational and administrative skills have on the success of our students and staff?

If you thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced setting, where every day brings a new challenge – then we have a wonderful opportunity for you at Trinity.

Tucked within the beautiful Northamptonshire countryside is Trinity, a primary school situated in the quaint village of Aldwincle, with connections to Kettering, Thrapston and Corby in under 20 minutes. Here, children thrive and are challenged within an environment that champions innovative learning and creative thinking, through a broad and balanced curriculum, delivered by staff who share in our vision, to nurture their social, emotional, and spiritual development, as equally as the growth of knowledge.

Following a successful Ofsted Inspection in June 2023, our school has received a very well-deserved rating of Good. Ofsted Inspectors commented that relationships between pupils and staff are ‘warm and considerate’ with pupils stating, ‘'there’s such a nice, safe atmosphere here.’  Central to our success is our amazing staffing team, who work hard to create a calm, settled learning environment for our pupils, who are polite and proud of their work, with positive attitudes towards learning. We are therefore looking for our newest Administrator to work to uphold these expectations and contribute to this environment.

We are proud to be recruiting for an efficient, professional and organised Administrator, to provide a clerical, financial and executive service to the school. This role is an essential and valued position, to ensure local, trust and statutory deadlines are met, facilitating the management of key processes. This includes, but is not limited to, managing pupil data, absences and facilitating school trips, that support our children’s learning, safety and experiences.

This is a role where no two days are the same!

By working with children, staff, parents, school forum members and trust partners, the role of the administrator will be involved in all aspects of school life, and will work with a focused and conscientious attitude, committed to providing an effective service that prioritises communication, management, and confidentiality.

We are seeking someone who:

• Can maintain a courteous, professional and welcoming manner, in person, writing and on the telephone, with key stakeholders, to reflect our key values.
• Providing effective secretarial support to meet the school’s administrative daily requirements.
• Efficient record keeping, maintaining compliance with data protection requirement.
• Takes accountability for the organisation and management of key school procedures, including, but not limited to, submission of relevant data to Finance and Health and Safety teams, Admission procedures, Pupil Attendance, Pupil census submission, organisation of school trips and risk assessments, website maintenance and safeguarding protocol.
