- Process invoices, schedule meetings, prepare meeting papers and take meeting minutes.
- Provide diary management and travel coordination support to the Director of Professional Development.

You have a positive and curious attitude and want to make a difference and improve the lives of staff and young people. You enjoy working collaboratively and place a high value on good stakeholder relationships, especially with school leaders. You must show a willingness to learn and a desire to develop in the role and make it your own.

This role is ideal for a recent graduate wanting to work in the education sector, or an experienced administrator.
