About Us:
Two Bridges Academy opened in September, and in our first five months we have begun to establish exceptional educational experiences for our pupils. We are now entering our next phase of growth, as pupil numbers increase in September.
We specialise in supporting young people with severe learning disabilities (SLD) or profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD). Pupils may also have co-existing conditions such as autistic spectrum condition (ASC) or complex medical needs.
We are looking for a receptionist who shares our passion for fostering a learning environment which nurtures, challenges and celebrates every pupil.
Role overview:
As a receptionist, you'll play a key role in positively influencing the lives of our students and their families. In collaboration with the Office Manager, you'll help create a warm and welcoming environment for students, families, staff, and visitors. You’ll provide a comprehensive reception service including answering phones, making calls, emails and managing general enquiries efficiently, contributing to the smooth and effective functioning of the school.
You’ll provide high quality administrative support, including maintaining records, organising meetings, supporting with interview days and handling confidential information.
What we’re looking for:
* Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a calm and patient approach.
* Experience in an administrative or receptionist role (experience in a school setting is an advantage but not essential).
* Confidence using IT systems, including Microsoft Office (experience with school-specific software such as Arbor is a plus).
* A friendly and professional manner, with the ability to work in a team and use initiative.
Why Join Us?
* A meaningful role making a difference in the lives of children with additional needs.
* Competitive salary and benefits package.
* We are a positive and energetic team that values support and collaboration.
* You will contribute to the growth and development of a new expanding school.
* You will work in a purpose-built provision with specialist facilities.
* You will receive a comprehensive programme of induction, training and support.
* Most importantly, you will gain memorable experiences of supporting pupils to learn and develop their independence and self-confidence.
If you are enthusiastic, organised, and ready to be part of a team that truly makes a difference, we’d love to hear from you!
