Kirklees Council are advertising this role on behalf of The Pivot Academy. Join our mission to inspire and empower learners and make a lasting impact on their lives. Join a team that makes a real difference. At Pivot we believe children deserve better. In our academies we teach and support children and young people from Key Stages 2 – 5 who have been excluded from school, for whom mainstream education is simply not working, or those with an EHCP who require a specialist placement.

Every day our teams do incredible work, making a huge difference to some complex and challenging children, many of whom come to us with traumatic backgrounds.

As an Administrator, you will work within a team to facilitate the smooth and effective running of our school offices. You will be one of the main points of contact for parents/carers and other external stakeholders and have responsibility for ensuring the administrative procedures are operating effectively. The successful candidate will have excellent IT skills and will be very well organised, with the ability to prioritise their workload.

The ideal candidate will have experience in an education setting, although this is not essential for the role.

Working at Pivot will give you a real chance to change the lives of our learners and we truly believe you will find working here a rewarding experience.
