The Governors wish to appoint an enthusiastic and committed Receptionist/Administrative Assistant to join our team.
The successful applicant will provide efficient and effective front of house service along with administrative and clerical support to the whole school. They will be the first point of contact for visitors, parents, pupils, and staff (either in person, email, on the telephone, or other media) and as such are of central importance to the image we present.
The position requires the applicant to:
* Have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, as well as a positive approach to working effectively with all members of the school community.
* Have knowledge of SIMS; working in a busy school office would be an advantage, but it is not essential as all training will be provided for the right candidate.
* Have the ability to prioritise as well as self-motivate.
* Be flexible.
* Have competent computer skills.
* Enjoy working in an environment where children are at the centre of all that we do.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all our children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. A DBS at enhanced level will be required. This post is covered by Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) and therefore the ability to speak fluent and spoken English is an essential requirement for this role.
