Administrator

‘CAT employs rolling recruitment methodologies, with shortlisting and interviews for some roles taking place as and when applications are received. This may mean that some roles are recruited to before the closing date, and therefore advise that applications are made without undue delay’

Beechcliffe Keighley, now part of the esteemed Carlton Academy Trust, is an over-subscribed school which meets the needs of 174 pupils who have severe or profound and multiple learning difficulties and autism spectrum disorder, and many of our pupils have additional complex health, medical and or sensory needs.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and pro-active administration assistant to join our friendly and welcoming school office team. The team plays a key role in providing administrative support vital to the successful and effective functioning of the school, as well as being an approachable and helpful point of contact for our parents and visitors.

Working in our busy school office and reception area, you’ll respond to telephone, email and in-person enquiries, and meet and greet all visitors to the school, ensuring all safeguarding procedures are followed without exception. Being responsible to the office manager, under their direction you will provide high-quality administrative support in a range of areas crucial to the effective running of the school, although there will be plenty of opportunity to use your own initiative too.

You will need to have a calm and professional manner and be a good communicator with high-level organisational and administrative skills. A positive outlook, flexible approach, and the ability to work well both independently and alongside others will help you succeed in this key team.

It’s a great time to join Beechcliffe Keighley. Our school has consistently been rated as ‘Good’ by Ofsted for over 10 years, and we’ve just joined the Carlton Academy Trust, where every school is rated as Good or Outstanding. Established in 2019, Carlton Academy Trust emerged from the outstanding success of Carlton Bolling, an inner-city Bradford secondary school. Today, we proudly oversee three secondary schools, three primary schools, and two special schools, collectively educating nearly 5000 students. Carlton staff can access a benefits package offering high-street discounts, salary sacrifice schemes, health plan membership and an Employee Assistance Programme, free use of Carlton Keighley’s on-site gym, and membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme too.

If you think you’ve got what it takes, we’d love to hear from you.
