Thank you for considering St Wulstan’s & St Edmund’s Catholic Academy.

The Governors, staff and children at St Wulstan’s & St Edmund’s Catholic Academy are looking to appoint a committed and enthusiastic Office Manager to join our dedicated team.

This is a permanent part time position for 35 hours per week, term time only plus 10 days. The working pattern each week will be Monday to Friday 8.30am – 4.00pm. Previous administrative experience of working within an education setting would be an advantage.

 At present we have 199 children on roll aged between 3 and 11 within our School and Nursery.

Our collective goal is to endow a lifelong love of learning in all our students following the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. We strive to develop the intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of the child with the values of the Gospel underpinning all aspects of school life.

The Office Manager is a key member of the school team who makes a huge contribution to the smooth and efficient running of the school. The role will involve managing the school administrative function, including Finance, Human Resources, Health and Safety and Data Management. You will be responsible for both Administrative staff and the Site Supervisor. The right person for this role must be organised, a positive thinker, an expert at prioritising and multitasking and be a clear and effective communicator.

You will have experience in a busy school office and must support the Catholic ethos of the school.

As part of The Blessed Edward Bamber Multi Academy Trust, the successful candidate will be working closely with the MAT central team.

If you are an enthusiastic, experienced administrator with a passion for making a difference to the lives of young people, we look forward to hearing from you.
