The Governors wish to appoint a Student Reception Administrator to support the operation of our excellent school admin/office team. The successful applicant will be hard working, flexible, and will have excellent communication skills. It is essential that any applicant enjoys working with and supporting young people, as this is a crucial part of the role. The successful candidate would also need to be prepared to support the Catholic/Christian ethos at St Mary’s in this role. Our Student Reception is the first port of call for student queries in school and, as such, the Student Reception Administrator is of vital importance. The successful candidate can be assured they will receive full training and unstinting support, to allow them to flourish in this post. English to GCSE or equivalent is required and previous experience working with children or young people is desirable, as is working within admin in a school or office environment.
St Mary’s is a very popular and happy school, rated Outstanding by the Diocese and Ofsted. We became an academy in 2013 and enjoy outstanding facilities in a new building, which opened in 2011. We joined the Bishop Bewick Catholic Education Trust in June 2020. We are also very popular with parents and are one of the most over-subscribed schools in the North-East. The roll has grown from around 1100 five years ago to over 1440 by September 2023, with 5 main school year groups of around 235 and a Sixth Form of approximately 270 students. We expect the Sixth Form to continue to grow in the next couple of years, as strongly academic year groups continue to move into Sixth Form.
As an Outstanding school, St Mary’s plays a leading role within the Trust and more widely, leading significant school improvement, training and leadership development across other schools, as well as sharing good practice in academic achievement and teaching and learning across many other schools in the north-east. We also play a leading role in teacher training across the region.
