We are seeking to appoint an experienced, capable and reliable secretary to provide high-level administrative support to our school. At Oxhill Nursery School we are looking for a secretary who is capable of providing a professional, responsive service in a busy environment. You should be able to work independently and as a member of a team, with excellent communication and interpersonal skills and a sharp eye for detail.

We are looking for someone who:

  • Has experience of office management systems, or be able to demonstrate the ability to work with similar systems
  • Have excellent communication, problem solving and negotiation skills
  • Assist the Headteacher with the finance, health & safety, property, HR, Safeguarding, GDPR and Compliance processes and systems in the school
  • Have a high standard of IT, English and Maths skills.
  • Be a strategic and innovative thinker
  • Support the caring ethos of the school and get involved in its activities
  • Be flexible and supportive to the needs of our school

Our school will offer:

  • A supportive, friendly, and professional environment, which is very welcoming.

  • Dedicated governors and a supportive school community

The working hours will be Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday 7:50 – 3:40; Tuesday 7:50 – 4:00 with 30mins for lunch

The Governing Body is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Any offer of employment will be subject to receipt of a satisfactory DBS check, Pre-employment Health Check and supportive references.

Please note that the Childcare Disqualifications Regulations 2009 apply to this position and therefore you are required to complete the “disqualification by association” declaration form. Should you be successful in your application for this post, your appointment cannot be progressed without this declaration.

Calculation of term time only pay

Standard term time only pay is calculated on the basis of the following:

  • Number of ‘teaching’ weeks – 38 weeks; plus
  • Public (bank) holidays – 1.6 weeks (8 days); plus
  • Individual leave entitlement – 5.2 weeks (26 days) or 6.2 weeks (31 days)
  • Individual leave entitlement is calculated on the length of continuous service.
  • Employees with less than 5 years’ service will receive 26 days annual leave.
  • Employees with more than 5 years’ service will receive 31 days annual leave.

For example:

Calculation for employees with less than 5 years’ service:
38 weeks (term time) + 26 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 44.8 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments

Calculation for employees with more than 5 years’ service:
38 weeks (term time) + 31 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 45.8 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments

Where our roles are customer facing and you are required to speak to members of the public, the ability to converse at ease with customers and provide advice in accurate spoken English is essential for the post. As a disability confident employer, we are committed to employing disabled people and people with health conditions making reasonable adjustments to support disabled applicants when required.

Applicant with disabilities will be invited for interview is the essential job criteria are met.

The deadline for submission of applications is Monday 11th July 2022 at 12pm
