Administrator – West Alvington C of E Academy

Part Time, 25 hours per week, 39 weeks per annum

Required as soon as possible.

The Learning Academy Partnership have an exciting opportunity for an Administrator to join our Trust, based at West Alvington Church of England Academy.

Lying at the heart of our village community, West Alvington is just across from our beautiful Parish Church and has access to open fields and stunning woodlands; the outdoor environment is very much part of the daily curriculum where a wealth of natural resources makes learning exciting and awe-inspiring for all children.

At West Alvington we strive to enable all children to achieve their full potential – we pride ourselves on removing barriers to learning and providing every child with a rich and engaging curriculum grounded in our Christian values. Our vision is for every child to be confident and happy as we nurture and support their development, so they flourish in all they do.  We value our incredible relationship with our community, working together to enable all children to live life to the fullest, regardless of their starting point.

We are looking for someone who shares our values to join our committed team, working to ensure that we serve our children and communities to the best of our abilities. This role lends itself to someone who has a wide range of administrative and interpersonal skills, who can be calm whilst prioritising their work and can communicate effectively at all levels. No day will be the same and you will be involved in all areas of school life, alongside a highly caring and supportive team. Everyone feels valued and has the skills to make wise choices for themselves and others, and trust in the brightest future.

Our Trust is dedicated to building an authentic workforce, so if you are excited about this role but your past experiences looks a little different to what we’ve identified, we encourage you to apply anyway.  You may just be the perfect candidate!  We are looking for someone who is inspired by our Trust mission and is committed to making a profound difference to the lives of our local children.

We are proud that our wellbeing strategy enables us to nurture, develop and support our colleagues so that they can provide the very best for our children. We encourage applications from people from all backgrounds and aim to have a workforce that represents the wider communities that we serve.  We champion diversity, inclusion and wellbeing and aim to create a workplace where everyone feels valued and a sense of belonging.

Our School Trust is underpinned by our four core beliefs; we are stronger together, a sense of belonging; removing barriers and realising the possible. This means that by working collectively, we can achieve our absolute best to ensure that children, especially the most vulnerable, can flourish. In short, our ethos is one of working together to Empower, Excel, Together.

We can offer you:

• The opportunity to make a profound difference to children’s lives
• A culture that takes work-life balance extremely seriously for all its colleagues
• The chance to work as part of a collective in a values-led school Trust, a single organisation
• High quality professional development and regular training to develop your knowledge and skills
