Administrative Assistant

Thank you for your interest in the post of Administrative Assistant at Haberdashers’ Borough Academy.

We are a part of a Trust of nine schools, all based in South East London. Whilst each of our schools maintains its individuality, we share a common mission: to ensure that every single child and young person in our care is successful at school so that they can flourish and be successful in their lives.

We are steadfast in our continuing commitment to the trust’s statement of intent on Equality, Inclusion and Diversity and believe all our young people deserve to receive an excellent education, equitable opportunities and a value-added experience regardless of their background. We are proud of the diversity of our community and strive to ensure this is reflected in every aspect of school life.

We currently have an exciting opportunity for an Administrative Assistant at our secondary, co-educational 11-18 school located on Southwark Bridge Road, on the former site of Southwark Fire Station.

We are looking for individuals who share our values and are committed to supporting young people and the wider school community through excellent administrative service. The Administrative Assistant plays a key role in ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of the school by providing high-quality support across a range of tasks. This includes maintaining records, managing communications, assisting with events, and covering reception duties. The role requires someone who is organised, approachable, and confident in handling multiple priorities while delivering a professional and welcoming experience to students, staff, and visitors. The successful candidate will join us at Borough Academy in October 2025.
