The Role

The Beckmead Trust is an expanding learning and nurturing community for young people with Educational Health Care Plans and various types of additional needs across various sites. We are seeking to recruit an experienced School Administrator to join the team at Chaffinch Brook School.

Chaffinch Brook is a special school for children with Autism and challenging behaviour. It is established on two separate sites, one for primary and the other for secondary aged students.

As part of the Beckmead Trust, our ethos involves close collaboration with specialist and mainstream schools, outside specialist agencies with enhanced knowledge of our children’s needs, and the private, voluntary and charity sectors within the communities in which we work.

If you share our vision of Love, Flourishing, Community and Social Justice, and if you have a desire to make a real difference to the lives of children in Croydon, we would welcome an application from you.

Our ethos involves close collaboration with various educational and community sectors, emphasizing a supportive and inclusive environment.

The Beckmead Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our children and young people. All staff and volunteers, as well as those working on the premises, are expected to share this commitment. Appointment to any post is subject to satisfactory references, medical clearance including the ability to participate in Physical Intervention, a satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Check, and evidence of the right to work in the UK. We also conduct an online search on all shortlisted candidates to identify any publicly available incidents or issues.
