PA to the Principal & Chief Executive

Our client has two main campuses at Ashington and Kirkley Hall and centres at Hexham and Berwick.

They offer hundreds of full-time and part-time courses, work with students aged 14-18, mature students, higher education students and employers from numerous industry sectors.

The post holder will ensure that the business of the Principal is progressed promptly and appropriately by drafting or commissioning responses to enquiries, carrying out delegated tasks, supporting efficient meetings through preparing briefing notes, the assembling of agendas and overseeing subsequent actions on their behalf.

There are many competing pressures for the Principal’s attention. There is a need for these pressures to be properly addressed to enable the Principal to make the most effective use of their time and therefore efficient diary management will be extremely important.

The role includes responsibility for the line management of the PA to the Vice Principals and therefore previous experience of coaching and mentoring staff will be advantageous.

Our client is fully committed to:

‘safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment’

‘equality & diversity and inclusion for students, employers, the communities it services, staff, governors and customers who come into contact with the college’
