About Us

Endeavour Academy Trust is an inclusive and collaborative group of schools in North Bristol. There are currently four Endeavour schools: Little Mead Primary Academy, Henbury Court Primary Academy, Fonthill Primary Academy and our brand new primary school Charlton Wood Primary Academy.

This is an exciting time to work for Endeavour Academy Trust. We have committed to measured and sustainable growth, which will enable us to create a group of outstanding schools with ambition for every child.

The successful applicant will work as part of a dynamic team to deliver high-quality and effective administrative support and front of house services.

The Successful Candidate

We are looking to appoint a highly skilled professional to provide effective administration and business support. The post holder will have a flexible and proactive approach to managing a range of responsibilities in a fast-moving environment. The post holder’s responsibilities include

• Contributing to an outstanding administrative function
• Functioning as part of a team in a busy environment.
• Keeping to tight timescales and deadlines.
• Confidently communicating Trust policies and procedures to a range of stakeholders.
• Oversight of school lettings.

Applicants must have a high standard of written and spoken English and be able to manage their workload strategically.

It is essential that the post holder quickly builds effective professional relationships with a range of stakeholders including external agencies, parents, school staff, visitors, and volunteers.

Our Offer to Staff

We invest heavily in the professional development of our staff with opportunities to develop expertise and experience across the Trust. Our focus on collaboration means that everyone is part of a team. Within Endeavour, we develop our own leaders. If you are ambitious and prepared to work hard we will support your career development and help you to be successful.

As proof of our commitment to staff retention and development, we offer enhanced terms and conditions of employment (compared to standard teacher/local authority entitlements), a friendly working environment with supportive leadership, and encourage our staff to maintain a positive work-life balance.

Due to the nature of this role, in agreement with line managers and in line with the school’s requirements, we are willing to consider limited flexible working arrangements such as time off in lieu.
