Receptionist

Required from 26 August 2024. 

Approximately 88% pro-rata. 

40h per week for 37 weeks of the year, working 8:15am to 4:45pm daily, with a 30 minute unpaid lunch break. The 37 weeks are made up of 35 weeks of term time and INSET days plus 2 additional weeks worked in the school holidays, 1 before the start of the school year in August/September and 1 at the end of the school year in July.

We are seeking a welcoming and professional Receptionist. A warm, customer-service mindset is essential, as the Receptionist is the first point of contact for many with the school and the primary liaison for parents with routine queries. Based in the main school office, the Receptionist is responsible for welcoming visitors, answering the phone, and managing the office email address, in addition to other administrative tasks. The successful candidate will need to enjoy working in a busy environment and be organised, able to work on their own initiative and to prioritise effectively. They must have the ability to remain calm, friendly and professional under pressure and maintain confidentiality at all times. Experience in an administrative role is essential; experience of working in the education sector is desirable.
