Overview
What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for a special person to join our friendly and hardworking administrative team. Reporting directly to the School Business Manager and the Head teacher, this is a key role in ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of our school and includes staffing the school reception desk, and carrying out a range of administrative duties.
You will be a confident and efficient person with good administrative skills, and you’ll be able to manage common office systems such as email, word processing, and receipt of orders and deliveries. You will often be the first person that parents or visitors speak to at the school, so you will need to have excellent communication skills, and ideally you will bring successful experience of working with the public in a busy environment – perhaps a school, or another public-facing role.
We’re very proud of the strong supportive and welcoming culture in our school, and we’re looking for someone who gets on with people, is cheerful and positive, and who thrives in a busy environment. The right person for this job will be someone who wants to work in a school environment, supporting the work of the teaching staff and administrative team, is flexible and a good learner and who has high professional standards for themselves – along with great customer service skills.
