The successful candidate will also discreetly manage and co-ordinate all Governance issues and support Senior Leaders as required. The ideal candidate will possess exceptional communication skills and impeccable attention to detail with the ability to work independently whilst managing multiple tasks simultaneously in response to the School's changing operational needs.

Information about the School
St Michael’s Church of England Preparatory School is a co-educational day school for pupils aged from three to eleven years. Situated in a residential area of Leigh-on-Sea, it was founded in 1922 by an order of nuns. The school has its own chapel and the education it provides is founded on Christian principles and practice. Pupils of other faiths are welcome and they and their parents are asked to support the ethos of the school.
Our vision is to have a school of happy and successful children all of whom are encouraged and supported to reach their potential in learning, achievement and personal development.
Underpinned through our Christian community we acknowledge and value that:
Every child is unique
Children learn best when they are happy, safe and secure
Our school community is enriched by diversity
It is not who a child is by birth that matters but rather what they make of their life (Non Quis Sed Quid).
Personal, social, moral and spiritual development are equally important as academic success
