Personal Assistant role within beautiful Independent day & Boarding School based in London, paying up to £30k!

Hours: 8am - 5pm

Start date: mid-August ideally

Interview w/c 19th June

The Role:

Personal Assistant role to the Headmaster of an Independent day & Boarding Lower School (ages 7 - 13). You will be a part of a lovely team within a stunning school. The Headmaster is a lovely character, he is calm and laid back and relatively new to the school (only starting last September). You will be working closely and supporting not only the Headmaster, but also the Deputy Headmaster, Registrar and Receptionist.

You Duties:

You will be doing all the normal PA duties:

• Diaries,
• Meetings,
• Taking minutes,
• Correspondence etc.

The role really involves being the 'face' of the school, and a lot of your work will involve being the main point of contact and liaison between the Headmaster, parents, pupils and staff - it is a really integral and respected role in the school.

Person specifications:

• Good written skills are a must, as the role involves a great deal of drafting letters, notices etc.
• Very good verbal communication and people skills - 'face' of the Lower School
• High attention to detail and organisation skills - this is a busy role with lots of deadlines
• Happy to muck in and role your sleeves up - e.g. cover for Registrar or Receptionist if they are out
• Mature, good PA and people facing skills

This is a small, friendly and tight knit environment, so character fit is very important.

Salary & Holiday Breakdown:

• £30-32K pro rata
• This role involves working 44 instead of 52 weeks of the year, so your take home salary would be between £28,500 - £30,409
• 25 days holiday to be taken during the school holidays.
