This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys being with children, working with people, takes pride in getting the details right and wants to be part of a supportive school where every day makes a difference.
As the first point of contact for families, visitors, colleagues and professionals, you will help create the warm, welcoming and efficient front-of-house experience that reflects our school’s values.
