VJC_006

13 January 2023

Permanent

16 hours a week over 3 days (which must include a Wednesday and Thursday). Term Time only plus 2 additional weeks.

Our Trust is an organisation characterised by optimism, excellence and creativity. We love to share good practice and to learn from, and challenge, each other. To support our growing Trust, we have a vacancy for a Central Administrator (HR and Training). In this role, you will:
• Maintain SharePoint folders and sites, shared documents and filing systems
• Produce correspondence including emails, reports and letters and other documents
• Take minutes of meetings and follow established processes to ensure they are saved in correct location
• Provide support in schools to cover absence as required
• Support the recruitment process for staff, volunteers, trainee teachers and Governance Community members
• Support the development of an employee reward programme
• Maintain training records
• Secure and save training certificates for staff, Governance Community members, volunteers and visitors
• Use established systems to book training for staff and Governance Community members
• Support the smooth running of INSET Days at all schools
• Publicise training events, book venues, caterers and suppliers as needed
• Liaise with Finance to maintain records of income and ensure invoices are raised and paid
• Administer the calendar of training activities for trainee teachers

This is a new role, and you will have the opportunity to make it your own. You'll be someone who has experience of working within a professional office environment (although this does not have to have been in a school), and you will also be able to:
• Communicate effectively with all members of the organisation including Senior Executive Leaders, staff members and members of the Governance Community
• Build good and productive working relationships with pupils, colleagues, parents and the wider community
• Be flexible and respond to changing demands with a positive attitude
• Confidently use IT, including Microsoft Word, Excel, SharePoint, and the internet

You'll be someone who is:
• Highly organised
• Resilient, passionate and hard working
• Able to build trust and mutual respect between pupils, families and staff
• Highly positive, and a creative problem solver
• Energetic, warm and caring
• Able to follow direction and use initiative

This is a part time role, but there is the flexibility to combine it with a second Administrator role to make one full time post if desired. More information about this can be found here: https://www.themeadtrust.org/join-us/vacancies/central-administrator/.
