If you’re an organised and detail-oriented administrator looking for your next opportunity in education, this is a fantastic chance to join a welcoming and supportive secondary school in Oldham. We are seeking experienced administration professionals for both full-time and part-time positions, offering flexibility alongside the opportunity to play a key role in the smooth running of a busy school environment.
This position would suit candidates who have worked within administrative roles in HR or finance departments and are confident using a range of systems and software. You will be comfortable managing sensitive information, maintaining accurate records, and supporting day-to-day operational processes. Previous experience working within a school or public sector setting would be highly advantageous, although strong transferable experience will also be considered.
The successful candidate will be responsible for supporting core administrative functions, which may include HR processes such as onboarding, absence recording, and compliance checks, as well as finance-related duties including invoice processing, budget tracking, and purchase ordering. You will regularly use systems such as SIMS, Arbor, or other MIS platforms, alongside finance or HR software, so confidence navigating digital systems is essential. Strong Excel skills and general IT proficiency will be key in ensuring tasks are completed efficiently and accurately.
You’ll thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift, and no two days are the same. Strong communication skills are vital, as you will liaise with staff, external agencies, and occasionally parents or students. Attention to detail, discretion, and the ability to work independently as well as part of a team are essential qualities for success in this role.
In return, the school offers a supportive working environment, opportunities for ongoing professional development, and flexible working arrangements for part-time applicants. Whether you’re looking for a long-term position or a role that fits around other commitments, this is an excellent opportunity to contribute to a dedicated education setting while developing your administrative career.
If you have a strong background in administration, particularly within HR or finance, and are confident working with systems and processes, we would love to hear from you. Apply today to be considered for this rewarding opportunity in Oldham.
