This is an excellent time to join James Brindley as the Academy continues to implement a strategic vision developed by young people, staff, and other stakeholders. Join us to ‘Think Differently’ to inspire young people to overcome all barriers and achieve their dreams. 

James Brindley is a stand-alone Academy based in a wide variety of locations across the City of Birmingham. During a school year, we educate over 3,000 young people for periods ranging from a few days in hospital to several years in one of our teaching centres. Many of our young people have complex medical needs and many have been out of education for a significant period prior to joining us. We offer a full-time curriculum to young people from EYFS to KS5 and our aim is always to enable them to ‘close the gap’ and to exceed expected progress during the time they are with us.

The purpose of the role is to be responsible for the provision of full administration and non-teaching support service to the Academy and being the first point of contact at the centre for all telephone enquiries and visitors, ensuring that Safeguarding procedures are carried out at all times. You will work with the Attendance Officers and Pastoral Managers to record and follow up young people’s non-attendance and ensure this is reflected accurately on the Management Information System.

The successful candidate will have experience in general administration using Microsoft Office packages and database applications, in addition to reception work, and is able to communicate effectively and accurately both verbally and in writing. You will have the ability to complete work, including preparing confidential reports, to the required standards of accuracy. The ability to develop and maintain effective working relationships with a wide range of people and the ability to prioritise workload are also essential along with a good standard of education including A* - C in English and Mathematics or equivalent.
