Truro and Penwith Academy Trust, together with the Local Governing Board of Mithian School, are seeking to appoint a dynamic and committed school secretary. Mithian School is situated just outside of St Agnes near farmland with excellent facilities and easy access to the most wonderful outdoor learning environments.
The role requires a friendly person to be the first point of contact for all visitors to the school ensuring a warm welcome. We require representation of the school with internal and external bodies and a strong promotion of the school through communications.
Clerical support to the school is vital as well as a smooth running of the school office.
The position will work closely with the Headteacher and support them with administration and other secretarial duties as set out by them.
This role is temporary in the first instance for one year, with the intention of it turning to permanent due to Truro and Penwith Academy Trust undertaking a review on admin support within their schools in July 2025. The responsibilities may be refined and adapted based on business needs and opportunities.
