We are seeking a friendly, efficient, and highly organised Administrative Assistant to join our front office team at Kelvedon St Mary’s CofE Primary Academy, part of the Canonium Learning Trust.

This is a key role in the daily running of the school and we are looking for someone who is not only efficient and organised but who also brings warmth, patience, and a positive attitude to their work.

You will often be the first point of contact for visitors, families and children, so a welcoming and professional manner is essential. You should also have strong adherence to confidentiality. There may also be a requirement to support children in school and so a calm, relational approach is key.

This role is varied and can be challenging so adaptability in a fast-paced environment is key to success. Experience of working in school is preferred but not essential.

A candidate pack is included which provides details about the role, responsibilities and qualifications required.

The working hours for this position are Monday to Friday 8:30am – 4:00pm across 39 working weeks per year (term time + non-pupil days).

The actual salary starts at £22,458 per annum.

Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to reach out to our HR team at KSM.HR@canonium.org. We look forward to the possibility of welcoming you to Canonium Learning Trust.
