Permanent post, 32 hours per week, term-time only

(Open to applications for job sharing)

8.00am - 4.30pm (Monday) and 10.00am – 4.30pm (Tuesday – Friday)

We are seeking to appoint an experienced, motivated and efficient Administration Assistant who will join our friendly team and assist in the day to day running of the main school office. The role requires reception and main office cover over the core hours of 8.00am – 4.30pm on a Monday and 10.00am – 4.30pm Tuesday to Friday. We are keen to recruit the most suitable candidate(s) for the role and welcome applications for a job share providing the core hours can be covered. Within your application, please express your preference to working either the full 32 hours per week, or as a job share, stating the hours and/or days you would be available to work. 

The main office encompasses our Data Manager and Examinations Officer, Attendance Officer and Administrator and 3 Administration Assistants, who provide a welcoming reception, first aid support and varied administration support to the school, including reprographics and examination support.

At Sutton Girls, we provide high quality teaching and learning, strong pastoral support and a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities within a caring environment that values character development and wellbeing. Students are highly motivated, have a thirst for knowledge and a desire to learn. Whilst we have a long history of excellent GCSE and A-level results, we provide students with so much more than mastery of examination syllabuses. Our vision is for all students to have a love of learning, a positive and resilient approach with a strong sense of community. Each individual will be encouraged to be aspirational, prepared for their future and inspired to make a difference.

Our culture is one which celebrates the diversity of the school’s intake and through the assembly, tutor time and Personal Development programme we build an understanding, kind, and respectful ethos. Our wide variety of extra-curricular activities enable students to develop their existing skills, discover new ones and broaden their horizons. There are numerous opportunities including sport, music, drama, DofE, STEM, various student led clubs and many residential trips, including CERN, World Challenge visits to Tanzania and China, ski trips to Italy and Canada. Our students are drawn from across the city of Birmingham, with many travelling long distances to be a part of Sutton Girls. There are over 1200 students in the school, including 316 students in our Sixth Form. We continue to be oversubscribed at Year 7 with six form entry throughout Years 7 to 11; many students also choose to join the school in Year 12. 

This is a supportive and happy environment in which teaching and support staff work together to provide students with a high quality, broad and balanced education.

Closing date for applications: 9.30am on Monday 30th September 2024

Interviews to be held: Thursday 3rd October 2024
