High Wycombe, United Kingdom Alpha Schools Limited Full time

**Job description**

Are you hard-working? Motivated? And reliable?

We are looking for an **Operations Assistant **to join our forward-thinking organisation. You will be working for the UK’s largest operator of independent schools, from our Central Support Team, in High Wycombe.

**About Alpha Schools**

Founded in 2003, Alpha Schools has quietly grown to be one of the largest operators of independent schools in the UK.

Unusually, we like to keep a low profile as we believe that each school should retain its own distinct character and history, rather than simply becoming part of a corporate homogeny. For this reason, you will find little online about Alpha Schools.

Fundamentally, we feel that schools should be coeducational and a blend of the highest academic and pastoral expectations. In a nutshell, they should have a family-orientated ethos, which helps each child, pupil and student to enjoy reaching their potential.

We have schools with four-month-old babies and we have schools with eighteen year
- old young men and women. This means we keenly understand what is vital at each stage of learning and how best to encourage all in our care to flourish whilst realising the joy and power of education.
