About the Role
We are seeking to recruit a well-organised, enthusiastic and adaptable professional to join our team.
The role of Office Assistant and Receptionist is in the busy school office and we are looking for someone who can prioritise effectively, use systems and processes efficiently and can adapt to changes. We welcome applications from candidates with an understanding of school life (as a staff member, governor, or volunteer). Previous office experience is preferred and all applicants must have previous experience of using IT systems and be willing to learn. Despite routine tasks, every day is different. As the first point of contact for parents, visitors, governors and often children, as well as staff, you will be an integral part of the office team. You should be able to think on your feet, as well as follow instruction and be a great team-player.
The ability to engage successfully with parents and members of this school community and an understanding of the school's values are essential.
This is a great opportunity for an enthusiastic candidate looking for their next role. As long as you are willing to learn and have a positive outlook, you do not need direct experience of the systems used (SIMS, Tucasi and Studybugs in particular). If you thrive in a busy, but supportive environment and are happy to be part of a team to help the school as needed, we would love to hear from you.
Please see the supporting documents for further details of the role.
