School Administrator

Ackworth School, a co-educational boarding and day school, was founded in 1779 by the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). It maintains its ethos and traditions, and is still governed by the Society, although only a small number of pupils are from the Quaker tradition. The school is academically non-selective and provides an excellent range of facilities and extra-curricular opportunities. The Head is a member of both HMC and the Society of Heads.

We are looking to recruit a School Administrator to provide Administrative support in both our Junior and Senior Schools and working closely with the Senior Leadership team members and Facilities.

Ackworth School is steeped in history. We started as a school in 1779 and are often known locally as "the Quaker school". We have a traditional feel, and our ethos is firmly founded in our Quaker roots, but we equip our pupils to face the modern world, educating children from countries all round the world as well as day pupils much closer to home in Barnsley, Wakefield and Pontefract.

If you would like to be part of our inclusive school and small team then visit our website for a detailed job description and person specification.

In return we offer:

• a competitive salary and generous fee remission of 50% for the children of our staff.
• all food and refreshments during the working day (term time)
• free on-site parking.
• flexible pension and health benefits including employee assistance programme
• a supportive and friendly environment based on the Quaker ethos of the school.
• a committed parent community which plays an active part in the school.
• a beautiful working location in an ideal location within easy travelling distance of the main centres of Sheffield, Leeds, Doncaster and York.

The working hours are 38 per week. The hours are fixed around the working times of the school with a greater degree of start and finish times in the school holidays. The salary for the role is £22,921.
