Kirklees Council are advertising this role on behalf of Exceed Academies Trust

An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Office Manager to join Knowleswood Primary School. Knowleswood Primary School is a two-form entry primary school, situated in the Holme Wood area of Bradford.  We are proud to be an inclusive school providing high quality education to all our pupils, within a secure, caring and happy environment.   

Knowleswood Primary School is part of Exceed Academies Trust, which currently consists of thirteen academies; ten primary schools, an all-through primary-to-secondary academy, an alternative provision academy and a specialist setting for children/young people who suffer from social, emotional and mental health difficulties.  The Trust has an excellent reputation within Bradford and beyond, and an outstanding track record of supporting staff in developing their careers through specialist training lead by the Exceed Teaching School Hub and our Outstanding SCITT.

The new Office Manager will work closely with the Executive Headteacher, Head of School and Senior Leadership Team, overseeing the school based finance and administrative functions, including the day-to-day management of the school office and all related staff.  This is a pivotal position, and one, which therefore assumes appropriately high levels of responsibility and autonomy.  Ensuring the deployment of effective and accurate financial and administration processes on behalf of the school, the Office Manager is not only responsible for ensuring all staff are fully supported but also acts as one of the first points of contact for parents, pupils and the wider community.

The successful candidate will be:

  • A highly proficient senior administrator or admin manager with a keen eye for detail
  • Well organised, self-motivated and resilient
  • Able to motivate and inspire others
  • Able to lead a team and work effectively as part of a team

We offer:

  • A dedicated, professional and experienced staff team
  • Enthusiastic, confident and well behaved children
  • The chance to further your professional career with a leading Multi Academy Trust
  • An Employee Assistance Programme available to all staff
