Office Manager

We are seeking to appoint a self-motivated and passionate candidate who can fulfil the role of Office Manager. The successful candidate will support the Academy Manager in leading and managing the Administration Team in delivering all aspects of the administrative functions.

As the Academy opened its doors to its first cohort of Year 7 students in September 2021, the team will continue to grow and develop over the coming years. The team provides a Reception, Administrative and Reprographics service to the Academy and the post holder will be responsible for ensuring these services are provided and developed to a professional, punctual and excellent standard.

The Office Manager will need to be highly organised with excellent administrative, communication, leadership and interpersonal skills. The office environment is fast paced and therefore the successful candidate will possess the ability to remain calm under pressure and continually prioritise their own work and that of the team.

Archway Learning Trust, previously Bluecoat Academies Trust was formed in April 2014 as a result of the very long and successful history of Bluecoat Academy. We welcomed three further secondary schools in Derby to the Trust and opened Bluecoat Trent Academy, a secondary Free School in Nottingham in September 2021.

The successful candidate will be committed to the students and academy life and will possess the ability to communicate effectively and be able to raise the standards of learning for all of the students with whom they are required to work.

The growth and development of our Multi-Academy Trust makes this an excellent opportunity to join us, as we seek to serve a growing number of young people across the region.
