We are a friendly, supportive and enthusiastic staff and can offer excellent opportunities and support to further develop your skills. We are looking to appoint a highly motivated and organised Office Administrator who can relate well to staff, pupils, parents and visitors.

  • Be flexible and eager to work as part of a team and to contribute to the smooth running of the school.

Visits to the school are welcomed. Ideal candidates will be:
 
  • Experienced in administrative duties
  • Able to keep staff and parents up to date with information and support parents and other stakeholders with their enquiries
  • Familiar with Durham LA policies and procedures
  • Prepared to work collaboratively with the School Business Manager, Headteacher and senior leaders

The ability to converse at ease with customers and provide advice in accurate spoken English is essential for the post.
 
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and, if successful, you will need to apply for an enhanced DBS disclosure.
 
As a disability confident employer, we are committed to employing disabled people and people with health conditions making reasonable adjustments to support disabled applicants when required.
 
Standard term time only pay is calculated on the basis of the following:
• Number of ‘teaching’ weeks – 38 weeks; plus
• Public (bank) holidays – 1.6 weeks (8 days); plus
• Individual leave entitlement - 5.4 weeks (27 days) or 6.4 weeks (32 days)
Individual leave entitlement is calculated on the length of continuous service. Employees with less than 5 years’ service will receive 27 days annual leave. Employees with more than 5 years’ service will receive 32 days annual leave. For example:
 
Calculation for employees with less than 5 years’ service:
38 weeks (term time) + 27 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 45 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments
 
Calculation for employees with more than 5 years’ service:
38 weeks (term time) + 32 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 46 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments
 
Closing date: Friday 28th February 2025 at 12 noon
