The Arthur Terry Learning Partnership has an exciting opportunity for an Administration Assistant to join our brand new development, Dunstall Park Primary School.

We are looking for someone to join our amazing team who has strong interpersonal skills, to build excellent relationships with families and the broader community.  Duties will include arranging meetings, taking minutes, reception duties, preparing letters, using data bases and other general office duties.
