About St Elizabeth’s Centre
Set within 60 acres of beautiful Hertfordshire countryside, St Elizabeth’s is a national charity providing specialist education, care and health support for children, young people and adults with epilepsy and other complex needs.
Our mission is simple: to help everyone we support Live Life to the Full.
We live our values — Aspirational, Collaborative, Joyful and Compassionate — in everything we do.
About the Role
As our Office Manager for the Adult Learning, you’ll be at the heart of our busy education environment, ensuring the office runs smoothly and efficiently while providing high-quality support to the Director of Adult Learning and departmental deputies.
You’ll lead the day-to-day administrative function, support with coordination of meetings and communication, maintain accurate records and help ensure that students, families, staff and visitors all receive a warm, professional service.
This is a great opportunity for someone organised, friendly and confident — a real team player who thrives in a varied role where no two days are the same.
What you’ll do
- Manage the day-to-day running of the service offices
- Provide PA-style support to the Director of Adult Learning and Deputy Heads
- Act as the main point of contact for visitors, families and professionals
- Coordinate diaries, meetings and minute-taking
- Keep records, files and information systems accurate and organised

- A confident communicator with strong interpersonal skills
- Experienced in administration within a busy office
- Comfortable using IT systems and Microsoft Office
- Able to maintain professionalism and confidentiality at all times
- Positive, supportive and aligned with our values
