SEND Administrative Assistant, Blackheath SEPX - Tes

Thomas Tallis is a flourishing and popular school situated in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. We currently have over 2000 pupils on the school roll with around 800 students in our highly competitive sixth form. We strive for excellence in all that we do underpinned by our vision of education to understand the world and change it for the better.

We wish to appoint a highly organised and professional Administration Assistant to support our Inclusion Department, working closely with the SENDCo. This is a key role within the school, ensuring that students with SEND and their families receive efficient, responsive and high-quality administrative support.

The successful candidate will play a central role in coordinating Annual Review meetings, maintaining accurate student records, liaising with parents, external agencies and the Local Authority, and supporting the smooth day‑to‑day running of the SEND department. The role requires excellent organisational skills, discretion, flexibility and the ability to manage a varied and sometimes demanding workload.

• a good standard of education including GCSE Maths and English (A*–C or equivalent)
• excellent organisational and time management skills
• strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build effective relationships with staff, parents and external agencies
• confidence in using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, and the ability to draft correspondence independently
• the ability to prioritise and remain calm under pressure
• a high degree of confidentiality and professionalism
• a commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people

Experience of working within a school environment and knowledge of Bromcom would be advantageous but are not essential.

• children and young people who are eager to learn and progress
• a supportive and committed Inclusion team
• staff who are dedicated to their own professional development and to improving outcomes for students
• an excellent physical environment with state-of-the-art facilities and infrastructure
• a school committed to your professional development

If you are passionate about ensuring that students with additional needs are supported through high-quality administrative systems and processes, we would love to hear from you.
