What skills and experience we're looking for
Join our thriving academy and support our students. We are currently looking to appoint a Student Services Support and Admissions Officer to join us at Harris Garrard Academy .
We would like to hear from you if you have:
• High quality ICT skills (and a willingness to undertake training when required), used to promote effective administration, organisation, communication and management
• Excellent organisational and administrative skills, with attention to detail
• The ability to quickly gain and maintain credibility and rapport with managers and staff across the school
• A good telephone manner and professional image
• Good organisational and interpersonal skills which indicate a warm, efficient and hospitable manner to all
• Excellent listening and communication skills and sensitivity in complex situations
What the school offers its staff
Harris Garrard Academy is an all-through 3–18 academy with approximately 1350 pupils on roll and joined the Harris Federation as a sponsored academy in September 2017. The academy is based in Thamesmead in a purpose built building. We are now on a journey towards “Outstanding”, led by highly experienced executive principals with proven track records of school transformation. Our vision is clear: nothing is impossible and everything is possible, irrespective of personal characteristics or background. Every problem has a solution. We believe we are more robust, resilient and determined as a team than as a group of individuals. We support, challenge and hold each other to account at all levels within the academy to ensure that our students achieve their potential, are motivated, engaged and fully prepared for life beyond our academy.
Our people are at the heart of our success. We have developed a strong culture of collaboration and best practice, with professional development and career planning at its centre. We invest in our staff with support, coaching, mentoring, and a wide range of top-quality training programmes delivered at every level.
In addition to the opportunities for career development and progression, we also offer a competitive rewards and benefits package which includes our Harris Allowance for teachers on MPS/UPS, a Performance and Loyalty Bonus, Pension Scheme with generous employer contributions, a Wellbeing Cash Plan and many other benefits. Learn more about our benefits on our website.

• To ensure that you are the gate keeper for access to student services for all students
• To triage all first aid that is reported via student services, involving treating, logging, calls to parents and supervising pupils until collected

• To lead on the application and logging of all FSM applications to the academy through L2ICT
• To manage all off rolling in the academy and ensure that all off roll files are maintained in line with statutory guidance
