• Shares our caring ethos, where happiness is prioritised.
• Is committed to playing their part to help every child achieve their full potential.
• Has great communication skills both written and verbal.

• Can form positive professional relationships with parents and staff and represent the school and its values as the first point of contact for many families.

The post will be for approximately 25 hrs a week during term time. There is some flexibility with hours Mon – Thu but the general working pattern would be

• Fri 8:30 – 16:00 (covering the school secretary role)
