Landon Harmondsworth School
Harmondsworth, Middlesex
Office Manager Landon School, Harmondsworth, West London Be part of something exceptional from the very beginning Most office manager roles are about maintaining the status quo. This one isn't. Landon School achieved Outstanding from Ofsted within our first year of operation, and we're now expanding rapidly. We need an Office Manager who wants to build systems, not just operate them someone who'll grow with us as we scale from one school to five over the next 5-10 years, serving over 1,000 learners. About Landon School We're an independent special day school for children aged 5-18 with autism and severe learning difficulties, operating under our "Safe, Happy, Learning" ethos with exceptional 1:2 staff ratios. Following our Outstanding Ofsted rating in July 2025, we're opening secondary provision in January 2026 and expanding to 152 pupils by September 2026. This is just the beginning of our growth story. What makes this role different You'll be working directly with the Headteacher in a small, ambitious team where your contribution genuinely matters. We're not asking you to slot into established systems we're asking you to help create them. Get this right now, and you'll be instrumental in shaping how we operate across multiple sites as we expand. This is genuine career progression, not a promise. Early team members will have first access to senior administrative and operational roles as we open new schools. You'll go from managing one school office to potentially overseeing administrative systems across our entire group. The reality This is a proper school office manager role reception, finances, pupil records, compliance, the full scope. But you'll be doing it in a specialist SEND environment where attention to detail isn't just professional pride, it's safeguarding. You'll work with vulnerable children, complex family situations, and multi-agency teams. It requires patience, discretion, and genuine care. You'll be the first point of contact for parents, visitors, and external agencies. You'll manage financial administration, maintain our Single Central Record, coordinate with local authorities on pupil placements, and ensure we remain compliant with Independent School Standards. You'll support recruitment, manage the school calendar, and keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes so our teaching staff can focus on exceptional educational provision. What you'll need Proven office management experience, exceptional organisational skills, strong IT proficiency, and meticulous attention to detail. You must handle sensitive information with discretion and communicate professionally with everyone from anxious parents to local authority commissioners. Experience in education particularly SEND is desirable but not essential if you have the right transferable skills and genuine commitment to our mission. What's in it for you Competitive salary dependent on experience. Full-time role at 37.5 hours per week, term-time plus 5 weeks. The opportunity to establish best practice from the ground up. Real career progression as we expand to multiple schools. And the satisfaction of working somewhere that genuinely invests in its people and achieves exceptional outcomes for children who need us most. Ready for the challenge? If you're organised, discreet, proactive, and want to be part of something genuinely ambitious in SEND education, we want to hear from you. This isn't just another admin job it's a founding team opportunity in an Outstanding school with serious growth plans. The question is whether you want to be part of it from the beginning or wish you had been in five years' time. Landon School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. This post requires enhanced DBS clearance and satisfactory pre-employment checks in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education.
