We are looking to recruit an experienced administrator to join our admin team at Rumworth School. This role is to work alongside our existing admin team as our school continues to grow, with a current staff team of over 190 full-time and part-time employees.
The focus of the role is to assist the Office Manager and Senior School Business Manager with all aspects of HR administration processes, including reviewing and developing current processes across our online platforms. The role will be varied depending on demand of the business, and will include the staff onboarding process, staff inductions, processing leave requests, supporting the sickness absence process and ensuring that the correct information is passed over to payroll in a timely manner.
As an ideal candidate, you would need to be willing, flexible and adaptable in order to support the administrational demands on the school across an academic year. You will need to be diligent, have a good eye for detail and be able to use spreadsheets with ease. These skills will be assessed within the interview processes.
Additionally, you may spend some time assisting with main reception duties at busy times and so you will be the first point of contact for everyone who visits our site and for everyone who calls the main school telephone number. It is therefore vital that you are able to remain calm and professional in your dealings with others. Our students and their families need someone who will be sensitive and understanding of special educational needs and disabilities. Our admin team and our wider staff team need someone with an excellent skill set who can work effectively as part of a team to provide high quality admin support.
Please note that Grade C (or above) or Grade 4 (or above) in Mathematics and in GCSE English Language and also GCSE English Literature, or equivalent qualifications is a minimum requirement and you will be required to provide proof of your qualifications prior to interview.
Information relating to the wider school:
Rumworth School is a highly regarded Local Education Authority maintained special school in Bolton with an excellent reputation for providing an outstanding provision for all students. Visitors to our school always comment on the “lovely feeling and buzz” and the calm & purposeful learning environment. In September 2025 we will have around 370 students with a range of needs. Our students are aged 11-19 and they all have an EHCP because they have a range of SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) which may include: Moderate and Severe Learning Difficulties, Complex Needs, Autistic Spectrum Conditions, Hearing and Visual Impairment, Physical Disability and Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs.
Our ethos is “Start with the young person”. As a member of our staff team, you will be a champion for education as a vehicle to improve the life chances and outcomes for our students. Our vision is “You can do it, we will help” and so you will embody our philosophy of supporting young people to be more “Confident, Resilient and Independent”.
In Year 7, all students have a more class-based curriculum with their class teacher delivering the majority of their learning within our “Foundation Year” setting. Year 7 students also access specialist rooms and may be taught by other staff for lessons such as Forest Schools, Art, Music, Dance, PE, Science, ICT, and Design Technology.
Students in Years 8 to 11 then follow a differentiated curriculum model, according to their needs:-
Some follow a more formal curriculum with a modified mainstream approach
Some have less transition and spend more time on the consolidation of basic skills
Some have particular SLD / ASD / SEMH needs and may benefit from working in smaller groups at times
All students access appropriate external accreditation at the end of KS4 and during KS5, and our offer includes GCSEs, ASDAN, BTEC, Functional Skills and Entry Level Certification, dependent upon student ability.
In KS5, students continue to follow the most suitable curriculum pathway for their ability and their aspirations, and we then offer a Year 14 Transition where some students continue on to the “Pathway to Employment” route, and those with more severe learning difficulties and complex needs would usually follow a “Pathway to Independence” route.
We are always keen to recruit staff of the highest calibre, and what matters most to us is that you are the “right fit” for our students. We welcome applications from people with experience in primary schools, as well as those with secondary school experience, and those with SEND special school experience.
