Administrator: Sixth Form and Careers

We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced and organised administrator to join KGS and provide excellent administrative support for the Sixth Form and Careers department.

Life in the Sixth Form at Kingston Grammar School is exhilarating, challenging, and rewarding. These two important years offer a chance for students to develop and grow as a person and KGS can help students to seize that opportunity by teaching a broad range of both academic subjects and life skills. With plenty of sporting and other co-curricular activities also on offer, we create an environment in which our students achieve superb examination results, whilst also developing their personal and leadership skills. Students leave KGS with the confidence and resilience to succeed and be happy in the outside world.

This role involves student administration and attendance, student pastoral support plus event planning. It plays a fundamental part in providing support to all Sixth Form students during these especially important final school years.

There is also an additional 10 days to be worked over the holidays and at key points during the year which will be agreed in advance. A competitive salary and generous benefits accompany this role.
