Hope Learning Community Trust is looking to appoint a highly organised and reliable Administrative Assistant to support governance and compliance across the Trust. This is a flexible, part-time role ideally suited to someone with strong administrative skills who can work independently from home.

The role involves coordinating governance activity, maintaining accurate records and documentation, tracking actions, supporting policy management, and ensuring processes run smoothly and efficiently. You will work closely with the Director of Governance & Compliance and respond flexibly to changing priorities.

We are seeking someone who has excellent organisational skills, attention to detail, and confidence in using IT systems. Previous administrative experience is essential; experience in education or governance is desirable but not required.

This is a varied role with scope to develop over time in line with Trust needs.

What We Offer:


• A supportive senior leadership and governance team committed to collaboration and innovation.

• Continuous professional development and opportunities to network across the education sector.

• A generous Local Government Pension Scheme.

• Access to comprehensive employee wellbeing services, including a 24/7 GP, physiotherapy, and other health and wellbeing support programmes.

• Flexible working arrangements considered to support work-life balance.

Hope Learning Community Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. As part of the Safer Recruitment process the successful candidate will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS check.

We're an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin,age or disability status.
