Cornelius Vermuyden School is a caring, ambitious community where every role makes a difference.
Our Headteacher isn't one to sit behind a desk. She's out in classrooms, around the corridors, and on the playground - visible, approachable, and leading by example. She sets the pace and drives improvement every day, and now we're looking for a PA who can match that energy and commitment.
This role is at the heart of our school. You'll manage the office and reception teams, keep the diary and communication systems running smoothly, and support the Headteacher in the daily rhythm of school life. It's a fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly, so we need someone adaptable, calm under pressure, able to think on their feet, and confident juggling multiple demands.
No two days are the same, but everyone is rewarding. You'll see first-hand the impact of your work on the lives of young people and their families. We care deeply about our staff, our children, and our community. Every adult in our school makes a difference and every role matters.
This is an exciting time to join Cornelius Vermuyden as we continue our improvement journey. If you want to be part of a team that is ambitious, supportive, and determined to improve life chances for every child on Canvey, we'd love to hear from you.
Cornelius Vermuyden is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects its entire staff to share this commitment.
