Business Support Assistant (Part-Time, Term Time Only)
Looking for a role that fits around the school run?
Manning's Tutors is looking for an organised, reliable and proactive Business Support Assistant.
This is an office-based role supporting the day-to-day running of our growing education business. Every day is a little different, so we're looking for someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in being organised and is happy to roll up their sleeves to help wherever needed.
The role would suit someone with previous administration experience who is looking for flexible, part-time work during school hours.
Hours
- 3 hours per day
- 4 days per week
- Term time only
- Office based
- Working hours to be agreed (designed to fit around school hours where possible)
- Additional hours may occasionally be available by mutual agreement
Pay
£16-£18 per hour
What you'll be doing
You'll support the business with a range of administrative tasks, which may include:
- General office administration
- Updating databases and spreadsheets
- Preparing documents and reports
- Supporting the onboarding of tutors
- Communicating with schools, parents and tutors by email and telephone
- Filing and maintaining accurate records
- Helping keep business systems organised
- Providing general support to the management team
No two days are exactly the same, so you'll need to be comfortable turning your hand to different tasks.
We're looking for someone who:
- Is highly organised and enjoys keeping things in order
- Has excellent written and spoken English
- Is confident using Google Workspace, particularly Sheets and online systems
- Has good attention to detail
- Can work independently and use their initiative
- Is friendly, professional and dependable
- Values confidentiality and handles sensitive information appropriately
Previous administration experience is desirable, although attitude, organisation and reliability are just as important.
