Detail

Brentwood Senior School is an academically selective HMC co-educational independent school with small class sizes and a happy, ambitious and supportive staff team. It is part of Brentwood School, a 3-18 HMC school of 1900 pupils, just 35 minutes from London Liverpool Street.

We are seeking an Administrator - Co-curricular, Educational Visits and Staff Development to join our dynamic school community. The Trips and Visits programme provides a progressive framework for experiential learning, embedding key learner attributes such as resilience and open-mindedness across all year groups. By connecting the curriculum with a wide range of cultural, sporting, and community-based opportunities, we ensure our pupils grow into knowledgeable, globally-aware thinkers. This role is central to supporting the delivery of these enriching experiences, from local day visits to international expeditions. With an extensive programme that included 68 residential trips and 200 day trips in the 2024/25 academic year, this is an exciting opportunity to contribute to truly life-changing learning experiences.

In addition, the successful candidate will take on responsibilities as School Calendar Administrator, acting as the central coordinator for the school’s master schedule. This involves ensuring all academic, co-curricular, and operational events are effectively planned, synchronised, and communicated, supporting both the smooth running and safeguarding of the school community. The role is term time only, working 08:30 to 15:30, plus one additional week during the holidays. Flexibility is required, as occasional adjustments to hours may be needed to support meetings or INSET days, agreed in advance.

Brentwood School ethos

We embody our values of virtue, learning and manners just as those before us have been doing since 1557. We are proud of our modern inclusive community which is shaped by our Christian Foundation. At Brentwood we ask ‘how is this child intelligent?’ (rather than ‘how intelligent is this child?’) and believe that finding what it is that makes someone tick is the secret to a successful education and the platform for a fulfilled life. Our pupils are confident without being arrogant, they look out for each other, they do the right thing, even when no-one is looking and they respect difference.

We help our pupils to solve problems. In partnership with parents, we teach them to persevere after setbacks, adopt a growth mindset, and challenge the norm. We encourage them to ask questions in class and take control of their own learning. Of course, they work hard and enjoy great success in and out of the classroom, and once they’ve left us, many go on to use and develop their leadership skills and achieve beyond their expectations, always remembering what Brentwood has taught them.

That’s who we are. We are Brentwood.

We are a highly supportive school that values the contributions made by a motivated and intellectually curious staff. We welcome applications from all sectors of the community as we aspire to attract staff that match the social and cultural diversity of our student intake. Staff across both the Prep and Senior School enjoy a bespoke collaborative approach to professional development. We believe in being a research engaged school, with those that facilitate our in-house research programme being trained by the Institute of Education. We support many of our staff in obtaining external accreditation across a range of fields and are engaged with a number of national and international organisations. There are a range of ways that we enhance our staff experience; free gym membership, benefits hub, free lunch, free tickets to school concerts and performance to name but a few. Brentwood School has its own pay scale that is significantly above the maintained sector.
