Thank you for your interest in the post of Business Support Officer in our school. At Bleasdale School we want someone to join us who strives for the very best for the children and pupils, wants to achieve highly and wants to reach the highest standards for staff and pupils alike. You will have the energy to help our pupils become as independent as they can be through continually asking for the best from all involved in their school life.

Bleasdale is an outstanding standalone day school specialist school nestled in the hills of Silverdale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Bleasdale School caters for children and young adults aged 2‑19 years, with profound and multiple learning disabilities, severe learning difficulties, and/or a diagnosis of autistic spectrum condition. Bleasdale prides ourselves on supporting pupils and their families through pivotal transitions of their life from portage, nursery, primary, secondary, Post 16 and beyond.

The curriculum has been carefully crafted to support individual learning journeys into adulthood. Strong multi‑agency working is woven into specialist teaching and learning, mirrored by the dedicated school spaces that include hydro‑pool facilities, rebound, outstanding natural beauty (AONB) green spaces, PE and performance hall (to name but a few). The building holds a strong coaching culture at the heart of what we do supporting everyone to be the best person they can be.

Ofsted has consistently reached a judgement that Bleasdale is Outstanding, and Bleasdale is proud to hold strong links to other outstanding providers nationally as well as locally.

You will benefit from a strong supportive team throughout the school, with excellent career opportunities. The school has developed a strong practice of supporting staff to improve and progress. We are interested in what you can bring to our school to benefit our pupils and families. This is an exciting time to become part of the Bleasdale team and we look forward to receiving your application.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and self‑motivated person to join our productive and effective administration team. Our school office is a busy and fast‑paced environment, and no two days are ever the same. As well as being able to work efficiently as part of a team, the successful candidate must also be able to work using their own initiative.

• Provide a welcome reception to pupils, staff and visitors
• Deal with telephone enquiries alongside other general office duties
• Support the school’s data management systems (including Arbor, FMS (Finance
  6) & Microsoft Office)
