Whitgift is one of Britain’s leading independent boarding and day schools for boys aged between 10 and 18 years, with approximately 1500 pupils and over one hundred boarding pupils. It is set in an attractive 48-acre parkland site in South Croydon enjoying excellent links to London, Surrey and the south coast.

We are seeking to appoint a full-time Whitgift School Administrator who reports to a Senior Administrator who is responsible for their assigned administrative pod. The responsibilities of an Administrator are to assist the area to which they are deployed through the provision of administrative support, or to complete a specifically assigned role within the School Office. The role description is deliberately broad and flexible, so that an Administrator can support different areas of the school in line with operational needs, such as (but not limited to): the Sixth Form Team, the School Office, Academic and Pastoral Leadership, Departmental support and Attendance as allocated. Roles completed within these placements will be varied and Administrators will be supported in developing their skills and knowledge in order to be able to complete a number of roles.

We welcome applications from all parts of our community as we aspire to attract staff that match the social and cultural diversity of our student intake.

To apply, please visit www.whitgift.co.uk/vacancies. For any queries, please telephone 02086889222 or email the Human Resources Department at SchoolHR@whitgift.co.uk

Applications will be reviewed daily, and we invite interested candidates to apply as soon as possible. The School reserves the right to withdraw the vacancy at any time.

Whitgift School (part of the John Whitgift Foundation) is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Where applicable, applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Serviceand online media checks. It is an offence to apply for a role at the school if you know that you are barred from regulated activity with children.

All roles within the school involve contact with children and are therefore classed as regulated activity. Child protection and safeguarding are the responsibility of everyone who works or volunteers in our school. All staff must be committed to providing a safe environment for children and supporting the school’s safeguarding ethos.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Applicants are required to declare all convictions and cautions, even those that are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules, to assess suitability to work with children. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to disclose information relevant to safeguarding prior to interview.
