• Must have a knowledge of a local authority’s school business procedures or practices plus additional clerical knowledge in order to do this job.

The job is regularly subject to conflicting demands, with more than one person requiring a service or assistance simultaneously, the job holder will sometimes be forced to address the new demand immediately, before completing the current task. Unavoidable interruptions occasionally make it difficult to complete the job duties.
