‘We make a difference’ - if you have the same philosophy, this may be the job for you.

We require a part time Administrator who will also be the face of finance in our team. The role of the Administrator is a crucial one in a large secondary school as it is often the first point of call for staff, Parents/Carers and members of the Trust team. As such, the successful candidate will be a key colleague. Supporting the wider administrative activities of the school, this position will also have a Finance focus, undertaking core activities including ordering and associated financial work. You will be well supported by colleagues in school, along with specialists from the Trust’s central team who you will liaise directly with. 

This role would suit someone who is looking for flexibility in their working patterns across the week, for example, working for shorter periods during core school opening hours through the week. 

As an employee of Wellspring Academy Trust, you will benefit from a range of employee perks which include Staff Offers and Discounts, a free will writing service, Community First Credit Union, Cycle to Work schemes and People Celebration Schemes.

We encourage any applicant to come and visit the school or to book an informal phone conversation about this role. To arrange a suitable time, please contact Naz Ali via email on nazeefah.ali@parksideschool.net.
