Heather Bridge School is a newly opened special school for pupils aged 6 to 19 years, set in a beautiful location Dousland near Yelverton on the edge of Dartmoor.

Our creative, individualised approach to learning, is centred around well-being and skills for independence. From the time our students arrive, we assess their individual interests, passions and desires to build a project based curriculum to meet their needs. In so doing, we ensure they are well prepared to achieve their goals and succeed.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, approachable and hard working school administrator who will be responsible for being front of house for our School. This is a 52 week post.

The administrator will support the smooth running of daily operations of the School, during peak times. They will provide high quality, efficient and effective administrative support. Based in reception, they will be a confident communicator and able to adopt a flexible approach. This is by nature a very varied role, which requires a high level of versatility and the ability to multi-task.

Our pupils aged from 6 - 19 have needs associated with SEMH and ASC, so experience of working within a school /SEN environment would be an advantage but is not essential.

This role is 37.5 hours a week and successful candidate will be required to work between 08.30-16.30.

We understand the importance of building meaningful relationships with pupils and families to nurture growth and development of relational milestones such as, building trust and sharing enjoyment. Care and making connections are at the heart of our ethos and we work hard to ensure that all staff feel cared for too.

We are strongly committed to providing high quality professional development for all our staff. As part of a new and growing group, we will be able to offer significant opportunities to work in collaboration with colleagues in order to develop innovative teaching practice.

The well-being of our staff is an important priority; therefore we provide opportunities to ensure we value their hard work and dedication and promote a healthy work-life balance. We are constantly reviewing our practices to ensure that our staff can focus on what matters: providing a rich environment in which children and young adults can learn and thrive.

Please note that early application is recommended, this job may close prior to the closing date.

We recognise that our schools all serve their own communities and are unique, but we also insist that our schools follow Spaghetti Bridge ways of working which ensure that there are high expectations and equality of opportunity for all our pupils.
