Administration Assistant job description

This is a particularly exciting time to join the school as we transition to The Newcastle School. Girls will be welcomed into our Junior School and Sixth Form in 2026, followed by full integration into the Senior School in 2027. This historic shift marks a significant milestone in our story, one that enriches our offering while preserving the ethos that defines us.

Full details of the role’s responsibilities can be found in the job description.

To discuss any questions about the role, please contact Human Resources, on hr@newcastleschool.co.uk.

How to apply

Applicants should complete our online application form.

The closing date for applications is 17 October 2025, however, we reserve the right to close applications sooner depending on the volume received so early application is encouraged.

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The School may carry out online searches on shortlisted applicants and all applicants will be required to provide details of their online profile, including social media accounts, as part of their application.

This post amounts to regulated activity.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. The School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions on a self-declaration form in advance of attending an interview (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.

We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates. We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements with shortlisted candidates as part of the interview process.
