Eastlea is a fully inclusive, friendly and supportive Community School where employees are valued and developed.

You will want to make a real difference to young peoples’ future, be passionate about education and standards along with your own professional development and progression.

Behaviour is excellent. Our parents and students have high aspirations and teaching and office spaces are inviting and well resourced.

The school is within walking distance to West Ham, Plaistow, Canning Town and Star Lane stations and is close to the dynamic London Docklands, which can be seen from the schools’ playing field.

Following the retirement of our Senior Admin Officer, we are looking to recruit a highly reliable, experienced and proactive Office Manager. You will be responsible for the efficient running of the main school office and administration for the whole school as well as HR, Finance and Daily Cover.

The successful applicant should have good time management skills, be able to meet deadlines and have a flexible approach to work as priorities could change at short notice. You will need to be a confident, professional & approachable communicator, as you will be liaising with external and internal stakeholders.

You will be working in a demanding and lively environment, so the ability to problem solve is essential, as is a good sense of humour and a "can do, will do" attitude.

A good level of all Microsoft Office Suite applications and excellent numeracy, literacy and ICT skills are essential.

Experience of a school or finance environment would be an advantage, as would a knowledge of SIMS/FMS.

Please refer to the Job Description and Person Specification when completing your application.
