We will offer:

You want to be part of the hard-working administration team at Breckland School. You will be front of house, greeting visitors and assisting parents and students with queries. You should be professional and calm in your manner and be able to work in collaboration with staff colleagues to provide comprehensive administration support. You should have a desire to work with young people; previous experience of working in a school is desirable but not essential.
It is important to belong at work and the work you do is relied upon by our students, so even small positive differences which are made, make people very happy. We want to ensure you have a good work life balance and one of the ways we achieve this is by having a two-week autumn half term break.
