Be Part of Something Special From Day One
Join a brand new special needs school in Croydon. We are looking for an organised, proactive and welcoming Administration Assistant to help build a positive, child-centred environment from the very beginning.
This isn’t just an admin role — it’s your opportunity to play a key part in shaping a school where every child’s wellbeing, growth and success is at the heart of everything we do.

Managing emails, communication and enquiries
Reviewing and amending pupil documentation
Processing purchase orders and managing petty cash
Coordinating transport and PE activities
Using school systems and technology (computer, scanner, photocopier)
Helping ensure compliance with policies, procedures and regulatory standards
You’ll help create a calm, professional and well-organised environment that allows our teaching teams to focus on what matters most — the children.


About You
We’re looking for someone who is:
Experienced in an administrative role (school experience desirable)
Confident using technology and office systems
Highly organised and detail-oriented
Warm, approachable and able to build positive relationships with children and adults
Calm, professional and able to manage multiple priorities


What We Offer

We offer:
A friendly, diverse and inclusive school community
Opportunities for professional growth and development
A well-resourced and thoughtfully designed environment
A dedicated team committed to emotional wellbeing and high-quality education
A creative, enriched curriculum pupils take pride in
A supportive and nurturing culture for staff and students alike


Ready to Join Our Journey?

Come and help us build a school where every detail matters — and every child thrives.
