Administration Assistant

Grade 5 SCP6-7 £25,989 to £26,403 pro rata (dependent on experience and qualifications)

Permanent, 30 hrs per week, term time only (43.6 weeks)

8.30am-2.30pm Monday to Friday

Start date to be confirmed once all satisfactory checks are received

The Governors of Longden CE Primary School and Nursery are looking to appoint an Administration Assistant. This is a popular, busy four class rural school and nursery, with a breakfast club and after school care. The curriculum is broad and varied, including a number of sporting, cultural and residential visits.  Consequently, the school office oversees a complex array of operations that supports the school in realising highly successful outcomes for its pupils.

Under the guidance of the Office Co-ordinator, the administration assistant is responsible for undertaking administrative, financial and organisational processes within the school and to assist with the planning and development of support services.

The role involves working directly with governors, staff, parents, visitors and children, and therefore requires good interpersonal skills and the ability to handle stressful and complex situations.  Ability to work supportively within the ethos and aims of a church school is essential. Experience of working in a school office is desirable but not essential.  Relevant training will be provided for the right candidate.

The post commences from Spring 2026. The Administration Assistant working pattern is Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 2.30pm, term time only.

Prospective applicants are encouraged to seek further information regarding the school and this post through the school’s website (www.longden.shropshire.sch.uk) or via the Office Co-ordinator, Annabelle Shedden (01743 860480 or admin@longden.shropshire.sch.uk).

Please return completed application forms to admin@longden.shropshire.sch.uk by midnight on Friday 6 March 2026.

We look forward to hearing from you.
