Applicants are invited to apply for this exciting opportunity to join the growing team at Glan Llyn Primary School in Newport, which opened in September 2019.

Glan Llyn Primary School is an English-medium school and provides education for children aged between 3 years and 11 years. It was established on a growing school basis to support the growing Glan Llyn housing development and sits within the Lliswerry cluster of primary schools. The school currently has 413 pupils on roll and is projected to reach full capacity within the next 18 months. The school also has two dedicated Learning Resource Base classes to support pupils with Additional Learning Needs.

The Headteacher and Governing Body are committed to establishing a nurturing and respectful learning community with a strong, inclusive ethos, where a culture of positivity, enthusiasm and aspiration prevails for all and where excellence is standard.

We are looking to appoint School Support Officers who support this vision and who will thrive on the opportunity to work in a busy, welcoming and nurturing school environment.

The successful candidates will be required to undertake administrative, financial and organisational processes and will work with, and under the direction of the School Business Manager to provide business support for the school. It is essential that the successful candidate is approachable and down to earth and can provide a friendly face for all pupils, parents and school visitors whilst maintaining professionalism at all times. As a growing school, we welcome many new families into Glan Llyn on a regular basis and so a positive and cheery disposition is vital as you will be the first point of contact for all visitors to the school site. The ability to work calmly under pressure with accuracy will be essential. Experience of the effective use of Microsoft Office and school-based systems (SIMS and Parent Pay) together with an understanding of GDPR is desirable, as is experience of working in a busy primary school.

• Providing general clerical/administrative support, e.g. photocopying, filing, faxing, complete standard forms, and responding to routine correspondence.
• Maintaining manual and computerised records/management information systems, e.g. Parent Pay, SIMS.
• Opening and distributing correspondence (email and post)
• Liaising with the Canteen Manager to manage school lunches
• Undertaking general financial administration, e.g. receiving invoices, processing orders of supplies, compiling and maintaining school inventory.
• Producing lists/information/data as required, e.g. pupil data
• Maintaining accurate pupil records while adhering to General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)
• Undertaking typing and word processing and other IT-based tasks.

The Governing Body and Local Authority are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
