This is an exciting opportunity for a primary teacher to join our team.  You will deliver across the curriculum to a class of no more than 8 students.  The role will be based at Rutherford House in Quedgeley, Gloucester.

You will be a key member of the wider primary team and will have plenty of opportunities to work with teachers and support staff to deliver an exciting curriculum that supports students’ social and emotional development as much as their academic progress.  Forest School is an integral part of our curriculum offer, along with a wide range of enrichment opportunities for our children.

Centre Administrator

Are you a dedicated and organised professional who enjoys supporting a dynamic educational environment? We are seeking two School Administrators to join our team – one based at our Eastbrook Road site in Gloucester and one at our Russet House centre in Tuffley. You will play a key role in ensuring the smooth running of the school office, supporting staff and students, and helping to maintain our high standards of care and learning.

You will be friendly, flexible and efficient, with excellent communication skills and a strong commitment to the vision and values of The Altus School. Previous administrative experience (preferably in an education setting) and proficiency in Microsoft Office and school management systems would be an advantage.

Expect a fulfilling role where no two days are the same, working in a supportive team and making a real difference to the daily experience of our students and staff. If you thrive on variety and enjoy being at the heart of school operations, we would love to hear from you.

In this varied role, you will support the full employee lifecycle – from recruitment and onboarding to attendance monitoring and maintaining accurate staff records. You’ll work closely with the HR Lead and Senior Leadership Team, ensuring high-quality administration and excellent attention to detail in all aspects of your work. The role also includes providing occasional reception cover, helping you stay connected to the day-to-day life of our school community.

We are looking for someone who is professional, adaptable and able to build strong working relationships. Experience in HR or school administration would be an advantage, but a willingness to learn, high levels of integrity and strong IT skills are essential.

This is a varied and rewarding role at the heart of Altus School, supporting senior leaders, SEND and safeguarding teams, and centre-based staff to ensure our systems run smoothly across all sites.

You will play a vital part in coordinating meetings, preparing documentation, updating policies and websites, maintaining key records, and supporting communication across the school.

The ideal candidate will be efficient, adaptable and able to work with a wide range of staff and external professionals. Strong IT skills and the ability to manage a busy and diverse workload are essential. Experience in education, SEND or safeguarding administration would be an advantage.
