School Administrator - Alternative Provision (Accrington)

School Administrator - Alternative Provision (Accrington)



The Opportunity

We are seeking a professional and adaptable School Administrator to join a vibrant Alternative Provision in Accrington. This role is perfect for a skilled administrator who thrives in a specialist educational setting and is looking for a consistent part-time schedule.

This position is initially offered on a long-term temporary basis with a clear view of becoming permanent for the right candidate. You will be joining a team that is deeply committed to providing a stable, supportive environment for students who require an alternative approach to education.

To ensure consistency for the school office, we require support on the following days:

• Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday

• 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM

• Start Date: ASAP

As the face of the school office, you will play a central role in the daily operations of the provision. Rather than just data entry, you will be managing front-of-house enquiries, liaising with parents and external agencies, and ensuring that student records are meticulously maintained.

The school environment is fast-paced and rewarding; you will be expected to manage multiple priorities-from coordinating daily attendance to supporting the Senior Leadership Team with essential administrative tasks-while maintaining a calm and welcoming atmosphere for students and staff alike.

Because this is a specialised environment, we are looking for candidates who can hit the ground running. To be considered for this role, you must meet the following criteria:

• SIMS Expertise: Recent, hands-on experience using SIMS (School Information Management System) is essential. You should be confident in navigating student data and generating reports.

• School Background: Previous experience working within a school office or an Alternative Provision (AP) is highly preferred, as you will understand the unique safeguarding and administrative requirements of the sector.

• Proactive Mindset: You should be a self-starter who can work independently and take initiative during busy periods.

If you are an experienced School Administrator looking for a stable part-time role in Accrington, we want to hear from you immediately.
