As the first point of contact for the school, you will play a key role in creating a positive and professional impression for students, staff, parents, and visitors.
Duties will include:
* Managing the school reception area, answering calls, and greeting visitors.
* Carrying out general administrative tasks to support the smooth running of the school office.
* Supporting staff and students, including those who may present challenging behaviours.
* Using school systems such as SIMS to input and manage data(an advanced understanding of school systems is highly desirable)

This role could also be a fantastic stepping stone for candidates who are looking to progress into a Teaching Assistant role. With your existing admin skills, this position could be adapted as a split role combining reception duties with classroom support. This offers valuable hands on experience in both administration and student support, opening up future career opportunities within education.
