Executive Assistant 

Salary: BG10 – 37 hours per week, term time + insets + 10 days (actual  £31,324 – £34,632)

Trust in Learning Academies are looking to  appoint an Executive Assistant to work in the Trust’s central education team.

You will  provide professional, comprehensive and confidential  organisational and administrative support to the Director of Education and School  Development Team based in our Trust Education Office on the site of Orchard School in north Bristol. 

This role involves leading on the communications and business administration of the School Development Team, building effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders, and working confidentially and discreetly with Directors, Headteachers and other senior personnel.

However, this is much more than an  administrative role.  You will lead on  the organisational elements of:

• Quality Assurance with schools, including core visits, SEND and safeguarding audits and reviews
• Professional Learning and Development training and events
• Stakeholder Voice (pupils, parents and carers, and staff)
• Education policies schedules 

The successful candidate will be experienced in providing confidential support to senior personnel in an educational environment, and have excellent communication, organisational and problem-solving skills. 

The role will be varied and busy. You will need to keep up to date with educational change and be prepared to carry out projects from time to time. You may be expected to attend meetings occasionally in other schools across the Trust, and a small amount of evening work may be required. 

We offer:

• Paid induction and training suited to the role
• Confidential access to an  Employee Assistance Programme      
• Free parking     
• Use of the Cycle Scheme  
• Paid completion of a DBS check
• Flu vaccination vouchers
• Free eye tests (where the employee is desk-based)
• Where eligible, automatic enrolment to the relevant pension scheme
• Honouring of continuous service earned in the Local Authority 

To apply, please complete the online form via My New Term including a letter of application
