Starting Date: September 2022
Are you looking for a fantastic opportunity to develop and enhance your skills and expertise in the field of administration within the area of special educational needs? If so becoming a General & Resource Administrator at Hatton School will give you the opportunity to work as part of a large administration team working to support the Education, Teaching and Learning of our very valued pupils.
Hatton is a large primary special school in the London Borough of Redbridge (outer London). Our pupils are aged 3-11 with a range of complex needs including autism, social communication difficulties, downs syndrome and other learning difficulties. The School was graded as ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted in November 2018. Our pupils are amazing and work very hard to achieve small and big steps of progress over time. They are supported by a dedicated staff team and we stand by our ethos of “Learning, Growing & Achieving Together”; we value teamwork and support one another to develop. Although our staff are amazing, we are continually striving to further develop opportunities we provide for our pupils.
Currently we are seeking to recruit a General & Resource Administrator. Applications are invited from enthusiastic, passionate individuals who have a genuine interest in working in administration within a school setting to support the school pupils with special educational needs to achieve the very best outcomes. The General & Resource Administrator post will require working as part of a large administration team in a variety of tasks to support the ongoing work of the school. You will complete much of the administration work for admissions, leavers and other key data collection tasks, alongside ensuring there are adequate consumable resources to support the teachers in delivering excellent multi-sensory teaching. You need to be conscientious, reliable, hard-working and be able to work on your own initiative as well as being able to support the team.
Hatton staff have access to:
- A carefully selected ‘Peer-buddy’ to support them when starting with us
- A commitment to ongoing professional development
- A well-resourced school
- Supportive and enthusiastic colleagues and governors
- Staff social events
- Well-being support
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This includes the need to become familiar with school policies immediately upon appointment and to follow the school’s procedures in relation to safeguarding.
