PA to the Head

2 weeks ago

United Kingdom The Independent Schools Council Full time

Required to start in July / August 2024 an enthusiastic, highly organised and efficient PA to the Head

Detail

St George's is a thriving independent boarding and day school of 270 girls aged 11-18 around 45% of whom are boarders (full, weekly and flexi) and with a Sixth Form of approximately 80 pupils. St George's offers an ambitious, connected and future-facing education tailored for pupils to realise their potential both at school and in fulfilling adult lives ahead.

Awarded 'excellent across the board' in its November 2022 ISI inspection, the School is a place where girls flourish academically, creatively, physically and morally, a place where risks can be taken, lessons are learnt and challenges are welcome.

We are a welcoming school with a warm sense of community. Visitors are impressed by our facilities within a beautiful setting and the ambition of our educational provision.

Our unique extended day and flexible boarding model allows all girls the time and space to foster confidence, independence and academic curiosity providing a future-facing education exclusively for girls in a world not yet designed for girls and introduces them to contemporary subjects and topics, through speakers, workshops, classes and visits.

St George's offers an education that is grounded, relevant and fosters employability. The school operates as an Educational Trust administered by a Board of Governors, is a member of the Girls' Schools Association (GSA), Boarding Schools Association (BSA) ISBA, AGBIS and is ISC accredited.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, highly organised and efficient PA to support the Head of St George’s, Ascot. The PA to the Head will have strong interpersonal skills and will be responsible for acting as the first point of contact for the Head. Along with exceptional organisational, communication and administration skills, the successful candidate will have sound judgement, excellent attention to detail and the ability to multitask and work in an efficient and time sensitive environment.

This is expected to be a full time position throughout the year and the working hours are 8.30am to 5.00pm, Monday to Friday. We would consider reducing this requirement to 48 (rather than 52) weeks of full time employment. Please provide an early indication of your preference in your covering letter.

It is hoped that the successful candidate will be available to start July/August 2024.

St George's operates its own generous salary scheme and eligible staff are auto-enrolled into the School's Pension Scheme. The full-time annual salary for this role is expected to be between £33,000 and £37,000 depending on experience and the agreed working hours.

Additional Staff benefits include:

  • Use of state-of-the-art gym with Technogym equipment at allocated times
  • Staff swimming sessions and family swimming sessions in the recently built 25m, 6-lane indoor pool
  • Supportive Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme
  • Ample free onsite parking
  • Freshly prepared, nutritious lunches in the Dining Room during term time. Refreshments are also available throughout the day in the Staff Room.
  • Meals and refreshments are free of charge.
  • The post holder’s children may, upon passing the entrance assessments, be eligible at the discretion of the Governors for a reduction on the basic tuition fees.

How to apply:

Letters of application to the Head, Mrs Liz Hewer, should be no more than two sides of A4 and, together with the completed application form and confidential cover sheet should be emailed to recruitment@stgeorges-ascot.org.uk

Deadline for applications: Midday on Thursday 30 May 2024

Interviews: Longlist interviews on Tuesday 4 June 2024, shortlist interviews on Friday 7 June 2024

The School reserves the right to interview and/or appoint at any time during the recruitment process.

Any queries about this post may be made in the first instance to Mrs J Witt, Head’s PA jwitt@stgeorges-ascot.org.uk

St George’s School is committed to safeguarding the welfare of children at the School. A review of open source social media and online content will be conducted after candidates have been shortlisted and you may be asked about this at interview. The appointment will be subject to a successful disclosure check from the Disclosure and Barring Service. This will give details of all spent and unspent convictions and other recordable matters. A policy on the recruitment of ex-offenders is available, if required, from the School Office. The supplied references will be taken up and the School may approach previous employers for information to verify particular experience or qualifications. A medical questionnaire will be required to be completed by the successful candidate.
