You will be a key member of the wider primary team and will have plenty of opportunities to work with teachers and support staff to deliver an exciting curriculum that supports students’ social and emotional development as much as their academic progress.  Forest School is an integral part of our curriculum offer, along with a wide range of enrichment opportunities for our children.

We are seeking two School Administrators to join our team – one based at our Eastbrook Road site in Gloucester and one at our Russet House centre in Tuffley. You will play a key role in ensuring the smooth running of the school office, supporting staff and students, and helping to maintain our high standards of care and learning.

You will be friendly, flexible and efficient, with excellent communication skills and a strong commitment to the vision and values of The Altus School. Previous administrative experience (preferably in an education setting) and proficiency in Microsoft Office and school management systems would be an advantage.

You will play a vital part in coordinating meetings, preparing documentation, updating policies and websites, maintaining key records, and supporting communication across the school.

The ideal candidate will be efficient, adaptable and able to work with a wide range of staff and external professionals. Strong IT skills and the ability to manage a busy and diverse workload are essential. Experience in education, SEND or safeguarding administration would be an advantage.

You’ll be supporting families facing a range of challenges, coordinating multi-agency input, monitoring attendance and engagement, and ensuring safeguarding arrangements are robust and effective. With a focus on relational, trauma-informed practice, you will help ensure students feel connected, supported, and ready for their next steps.

If you have experience working with children or families, can remain calm and empathetic under pressure, and thrive in a role that blends hands-on support with detailed record-keeping and coordination, we would love to hear from you. This is an opportunity to make a genuine difference to the lives of young people and their families.
