Assessment Only and SCITT Recruitment Officer (Part time)

We have an exciting opportunity for an Assessment Only and SCITT Recruitment Officer to make a real difference to Buckinghamshire and the surrounding areas, by playing a key support role with the Astra SCITT to increase the number of qualified teachers available for schools to employ in the local area.

Your role will be to support both the recruitment process for trainees onto our main teacher training course, and to be the lead support role for our Assessment Only route to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) - a fast track route for unqualified teachers currently working in schools to gain QTS and further their career.

You should be an effective administrator and communicator, with good IT skills and high standards of accuracy. You will have experience of working in recruitment, sales and/or administration. Experience working within a school environment would be an advantage, although is not essential. This role is term time based, with an additional 2 weeks to be worked as required during school holidays.

Salary: £13,909 - £14,758 pa (actual salary) (starting salary commensurate with experience) plus generous pension scheme
