Office Manager

Your new company

Remedy Education are working with a welcoming and well‑organised SEN school in the Southwark area to appoint a School Office Manager. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a supportive leadership team and play a key role in the smooth running of the school’s administrative function.

Your new role

As School Office Manager, you will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the school office, ensuring a professional and efficient administrative service is delivered to staff, pupils and parents. This is a predominantly office-focused role, with limited involvement in financial management, distinguishing it from a School Business Manager position.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Leading and managing the school’s administrative function and front‑of‑house operations
• Line managing administrative support staff and overseeing workload distribution
• Acting as the first point of contact for parents, visitors and external agencies
• Managing pupil data, attendance records and maintaining accurate school systems (e.g. SIMS/Arbor)
• Supporting the Headteacher and senior leadership team with administrative tasks, reporting and organisation
• Ensuring compliance with school policies, safeguarding procedures and GDPR requirements
• Coordinating communications, newsletters and general correspondence
• Overseeing admissions administration and maintaining pupil records
• Organising meetings, events and calendar management for the school

To be successful in this role, you will ideally have:

• Previous experience working in a school office setting or similar education environment
• Strong organisational and leadership skills, with experience supervising or coordinating a team
• Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities
• Proficiency in school management systems (SIMS, Arbor, or similar)
• A high level of attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities
• A proactive, solutions‑focused approach
