We are looking to appoint an organised, proactive and approachable Office Manager to play a key role in the smooth and efficient running of our busy primary school office. The successful candidate will have excellent organisational and communication skills, a strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. Working closely with the Principal, senior leaders and wider school team, you will oversee the day-to-day administration of the school, support and coordinate the administrative team, and provide a professional and welcoming service to pupils, parents, staff and visitors. This is a varied and rewarding role requiring someone who can use their initiative, remain calm under pressure and contribute positively to the wider life and ethos of the school. Previous experience in a school office or a similar role would be highly desirable, along with experience of using SIMs or a similar information management system. 
 
Visits to the school are essential as part of the application process and provide a valuable opportunity to meet the team, see the school in action, and find out more about the role and our school community.
 
Drapers’ Multi-Academy Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Appointments are subject to enhanced DBS clearance, an online check, and other relevant employment checks.
Safeguarding

Havering Schools are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The protection of our pupils from abuse is the responsibility of all staff within our schools, superseding any other considerations. Therefore Havering Schools comply with the Department for Education ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ guidance.

It is an offence to apply for a post which involves engaging in regulated activity relevant to children if you are barred from doing so. Please be advised that, again in line with ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’, shortlisted candidates (who wish to accept an invite to interview) will be required to submit, prior to their interview, a self-declaration of their criminal record or information that would make them unsuitable to work with children. Upon submission of this information, online checks may be carried out.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974; the successful applicant will be expected to undertake an enhanced DBS disclosure check. Having a criminal record will not necessarily debar you from obtaining a position with the School.

Equal Opportunities

Havering Schools aim to promote and ensure equality of opportunity and equal treatment for all. We are committed to equal opportunities in employment regardless of gender, marital status, race, colour, nationality (including citizenship), ethnic or national origins, disabilities, age, sexual orientation, responsibility for dependants, religious or political affiliation and trade union activities. All matters related to employment are decided on the basis of qualifications, merit and business need.
