We welcome applications from those of the Catholic faith, all faiths and no faith, and who are supportive of our Christian values and ethos.
Are you self-motivated, do you have an enquiring mind and a strong attention to detail, great problem solving skills and enjoy working in a small busy team? We seek a suitably skilled individual to be appointed as the Admin and Communications Assistant for our busy and thriving secondary school. The postholder will be responsible for the production of the weekly/fortnightly newsletters to staff and parents and providing wider administrative support to the school.
You must have an excellent work ethic, superb organisational skills and be able to work unsupervised to tight deadlines. Working as part of the wider support staff team, no two days are the same, and you may regularly have to deal with several tasks at the same time and be able to manage and prioritise your own workload. We are looking for a proactive, confident and reliable candidate with a can-do attitude and excellent communication skills. The ideal candidate will have experience of working as an Administrative Assistant or Marketing/Communications within a school environment, however this is not essential.
You should be proficient in word and excel, a confident and quick learner, willing to learn new skills and software and be confident in the compilation and accuracy of attendance information.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Welcome
St. Mary’s has a strong tradition of providing an authentic education which aims to deliver excellence for every member of our Catholic community. It is our mission to build on that tradition as we develop the school still further over the years ahead.
Our school is built upon an ambitious mission for each and every young person: to fulfil academic potential; to be fully developed in the personal, social and spiritual areas of life; to achieve excellence in every area of life; and to be underpinned by Gospel Values, enabling each person to value individuals and contribute positively to society. We work in partnership with parents and the wider community to ensure that this mission is accomplished in the lives of all our young people, and in so doing, enable those young people to live life to the full.
The aims of the school are:
• the formation of our young people according to Gospel values;
• the fulfilment of the potential of our pupils in all aspects of the curriculum;
• the personal, social and spiritual development of our pupils into responsible, generous and caring members of society;
• the achievement of all these within a culture of respect and appreciation for the worth and contribution of each member of our school and its wider community.
In 1896, five Sisters from the Belgian congregation of St Mary of Namur came to Bishop's Stortford and established a school with just 9 students. These pioneering Sisters were the first to provide Catholic education for the district, and the school rapidly became a success. Their legacy is St Mary’s Catholic School, and as we look to the future with high expectations for continued success, their vision continues to inspire us. This is expressed in our aspiration towards academic excellence founded on Gospel values. In practical terms this also means the best possible pastoral care and guidance and the challenge and support of a broad range of spiritual opportunities which permeate through all aspects of school life.
