About the Role
- Support Senior Leaders in Trust Schools to coordinate and oversee the statutory consultation process for all admissions

About you
The successful candidate will be a well-organised and competent individual, who is capable of achieving high quality outcomes while dealing with competing demands.
You will have excellent administration, organisation, and IT skills; a working knowledge of the key legislative frameworks around school admissions for children and young people with EHCPs; and you will enjoy working independently and within a busy and friendly team.
You will have a supportive and positive approach with a ‘can-do’ attitude, and will prioritise a varied workload, managing and maintaining data and information with accuracy and attention to detail. You will have excellent communications skills and will enjoy forming positive and effective working relationships throughout the Trust.
Experience of working in the education sector is an advantage but not essential. It is vital that the successful candidate demonstrates a strong commitment to improving the lives of students with special educational needs and disabilities.
Benefits of working for The Gallery Trust
In return for your energy and enthusiasm, we can offer you the opportunity to work for a successful, expanding and secure public sector organisation in a supportive, well-resourced and committed team. Benefits include access to CPD, a generous local government pension scheme, up to 33 days holiday a year plus bank holidays, and a negotiable working pattern.
