Part of the New Bridge Multi Academy Trust, The Springboard Project is a specialist provision providing high quality, innovative, alternative educational experiences for students aged 14-19 with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties). Based in Oldham town centre, we work across the neighbouring boroughs of Tameside, Rochdale and Stockport.
Here at the Project, we believe passionately in supporting our students to achieve their very best outcomes and to overcome their barriers to learning. Our aim is to meet the needs of our young people where they are, supporting them to gain the skills, knowledge and experience necessary to go into fulfilling life beyond education. It is our ambitious goal to support every one of our students into employment, further education or training once they leave us at 19. Through collaboration with the Trust, and our partnerships with wider external agencies, we can support our young people up to the age of 25, ensuring they have the best possible outcomes and move successfully into adulthood.
We promise to ensure that all our students have the opportunity to:
- Gain a minimum of 4 Level 2 (GCSE or equivalent) qualifications, including Maths and English
- Gain a vocational qualification in a pathway of their choice
- Develop employability and life skills, including recognised qualifications
- Have real, meaningful work experiences, including being allocated a career coach, who will stay with them post-19
We also believe that we cannot support our young people in isolation, and so we are always looking for innovative ways to support our wider community and the young people’s families. This can be through offering a friendly ear / support to the adults around our students through to real, practical support via our ‘Project Pantry’, a one-stop option for families struggling with the cost of living crisis.
We are now looking to recruit to the post of Administrative Assistant to join our existing team.
The post holder will have specific responsibility for the administration of student and parent information and will provide general clerical and administrative for the whole school including exam administration.

- Experience of working within a busy administrative team, undertaking a wide range of office-based administration and clerical duties focusing on HR/Admissions recording.
- Experience of providing ‘front of house’ services, including face to face and telephone interaction with visitors and external parties and providing high levels of customer care
- Experience of providing administrative support in HR/Admissions (desirable)
- Experience of using a range of computer packages for word processing, spreadsheets, databases, emails and researching information
- A commitment to effective team working to ensure deadlines and goals are met
- Organisational skills to work under pressure to complete tasks to deadlines, re-prioritising own workload if necessary
- An understanding of GDPR and the need to keep information confidential
- An understanding why safeguarding is important when working with students
- A genuine appreciation of the potential barriers to a student’s growth and development, and sensitivity towards their circumstances and life experiences
- High expectations of young people, and a commitment to raising standards of attainment to ensure that they can achieve their full potential
