THE ROLE

We are looking for a dynamic, quick-learning individual to take on responsibility for the centralised administration and key processes for the Yarrow Gallery team

In this role you will coordinate Yarrow external and internal events and oversee the events schedule and approvals process; you will provide administrative support to the Head of Art including assistance with diary and budget management, exhibition-related research and special projects. You will also be the first point of contact for general internal and external enquiries.

THE SCHOOL

Oundle and Laxton Junior Schools have long been associated with the very best of modern independent education, especially boarding. The Schools take seriously their responsibility to pupils so that they can emerge as decent, open-minded adults; ambitious about what they can go on to achieve and contribute. Over 1400 pupils are on roll at the School, of whom 840 are full boarders. Academic results are steadfastly excellent. 

 A team of around 800 staff, both academic and support, ensure an education of the highest standard is in place across the Schools with the efforts of the whole team focused on this fundamental aim.

LIVING IN OUNDLE

We are fortunate in our location at the heart of a beautiful market town. School and town are part of the same community and our pupils take their place within this community, not isolated from it.
