School Administrator

The heart of a school isn’t just the classroom—it’s the office.

From the first smile at reception to keeping registers, records, and routines ticking over, school administrators make it all happen. And now, Protocol Education is building a dedicated pool of trained, trusted, and ready-to-go admin professionals to support schools across Southwark.

We’re especially keen to hear from people from a range of backgrounds—whether you’ve worked in schools before or are bringing transferable skills from another sector. If you're organised, friendly, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, we want to hear from you.
