Administrative Officer

North East Learning Trust are seeking to appoint an Administrative Officer to join our team.

At North East Learning Trust our ambition is to continually improve the experiences and outcomes for all the 7,000 children across our ten schools. We look to achieve this by supporting each school we sponsor on a journey towards becoming outstanding both in the view of Ofsted and as judged by performance outcomes, enrichment opportunities and the day-to-day experiences of students as learners and of staff as our employees. 

The purpose of the NELT Institute is to extend our vision for excellence beyond our schools' gates. We support the wider school system by providing professional development programmes for teachers at every stage in their career. The range and scale of our programmes has grown dramatically in recent months so we are expanding our team, which will take our core team of staff to around 15 members. Our team can be split in two: our Operations Team ensures that our programmes run smoothly, and our Impact Team design and deliver great programmes.

As Administrative Officer, you will play a central role in the next phase of our development. Specifically, you will ensure that our internal operations are effective and efficient so that we provide a consistently excellent user experience. Responsibilities include managing the applications and onboarding to our programmes, managing events, and communicating with programme participants so that they get the most from our work.

This role will be based at The Academy at Shotton Hall, Passfield Way, Peterlee, SR8 1AY. 

We can offer:

  • National Terms and Conditions of Employment (NJC Green Book)
  • Local Government Pension Scheme 
  • Employee Assistance Programme providing free confidential advice and counselling service 24/7 365 days per year

The successful candidate will:

  • Have Maths and English at GCSE level (or equivalent).
  • Have experience in an administration/operations role
  • Have excellent IT skills.
  • Be well organised and self-motivated.
  • Have a flexible approach to work.
