We are looking for a person to manage our Sixth Form office.  The person appointed must be well organised and able to work independently.  Word Processing skills and a good telephone manner are essential.  Previous experience of working in a school and knowledge of SIMS would be helpful although training will be provided.

Davenant is a Christian Ecumenical school that was founded in 1680. It achieves outstanding examination results, has a strong focus on extra-curricular provision and seeks to nurture “mind, body and spirit”.  We are a supportive school with a staff welfare programme that reflects our care.

Davenant is recognised as a “good school, with an outstanding Sixth Form” by Ofsted.  Academic standards are high (In 2024 we were again one of the highest achieving schools in Essex). Many of our students move on to take degrees at university (including Cambridge and Oxford).

Davenant is committed to safeguarding and protecting the children and young people that we work with.  As such, all posts are subject to a safer recruitment process, including the disclosure of criminal records and vetting checks.  We ensure that we have a range of policies and procedures in place, which promote safeguarding and safer working practice across the school.

A letter of application, along with an application form, should be submitted to the Headteacher’s P.A. Marylyn Greengrass: Marylyn.greengrass@davenant.org by the closing date: Monday 10 February.
