Woodford is an energising and rewarding school in which to work.  Life here blends the very new with the very traditional. The atmosphere is vibrant, purposeful and very friendly and the school community is strong, cohesive and valued by its members. Are you passionate about supporting education and committed to inspiring students?  

We are seeking a highly organised, friendly and efficient School Administrator to join our very busy and dedicated team of support staff from 1st September 2025 to play a key role in the smooth running of our busy school office, whilst supporting the wider school community.

This will be a varied role which will include:

  • Providing administrative support to all key staff involved across years 7-11, including the Senior Leadership Team, Heads of Sections and Form Tutors.
  • Maintaining accurate and up-to-date pupil records across various platforms.
  • Coordinating communication with parents using Groupcall and other school communication systems.
  • Providing administrative support for events such as parents' evenings, leaver’s day and review days.

Experience of working in a busy office with a strong customer ethos is essential. Previous experience of working in an educational setting is desirable but not essential. The successful candidate must have the ability to be discreet, possess strong organisational and time-management skills and have the ability to prioritise tasks, meet deadlines, and work methodically and independently.

Applications are to be submitted by email to recruitment@woodford.redbridge.sch.uk and must include the completed London Borough of Redbridge application form.  Applications by CV will not be considered.
