System Experience: Prior experience using SIMS is highly desirable.
Financial Literacy: Confidence handling invoices and basic administrative finance.
Resilience & Warmth: A calm, positive demeanour and the ability to thrive in a bustling, non-traditional school environment.
Organisation: Excellent time-management skills with the ability to multitask.

What We Offer

Excellent Flexibility: A 4-day working week, offering a fantastic work-life balance.
Term-Time Only: Enjoy school holidays off, perfectly suited around school terms.
