An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the friendly team at Ribston Hall High School as Sixth Form Administrator, to cover a period of maternity leave on a fixed-term contract.

In your role as Sixth Form Administrator, you will provide efficient administrative support to the Upper School Leadership Team and administer the Sixth Form Admissions process including co-ordinating events and open days.

The successful candidate will enjoy working with young people and be able to demonstrate a positive outlook and enthusiasm in supporting the students.  With a pastoral and wellbeing focus, you will triage students needs, referring as appropriate to further support and guidance.  You will also liaise closely with the Wellbeing team, with regard to any issues that will impact on student learning such as absence or health issues.
