IT Office Administrator

The Perse School is seeking to appoint an Office Administrator to join our IT department on a fixed term basis until December 2027. The postholder will provide practical and administrative support for the implementation of the new school information system, while helping to maintain the day-to-day operation of the IT Office across the 3-18 age range.

The role combines IT Office administration, device and stock processes, data-protection administration, Parent Portal support and operational support for mock examinations. This is primarily a non-technical role; prior technical experience is not essential, but an interest in IT, strong digital skills and a willingness to learn are important.

All members of the IT department are expected to provide support to all three sites, therefore a flexible approach and the ability to work independently and as part of a team are requirements for the role.

The Perse School Cambridge is one of the country's leading independent co-educational day schools for children aged 3-18.

Our aim is to be a leading employer of choice. This means we strive to be a school where staff say they are proud and excited to work, and feel valued, respected and motivated., The Perse School recognises that an important element in safeguarding our pupils is a robust recruitment process that incorporates measures to deter, reject or identify people who might abuse children, or who are otherwise unsuited to work with them. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post including: references from previous employers, a Disclosure and Barring Service check at the enhanced level, as well as eligibility to work in the UK (in compliance with UK immigration regulations). All work carried out at the School on a regular basis amounts to regulated activity. This role is also exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.

We are committed to providing a very competitive salary and benefits scheme. We want our staff to feel engaged and purposeful so that they, in turn, help pupils to be happy and successful.
