As part of our busy administration team, you will be at the centre of school life - helping staff, supporting students and creating a warm and professional welcome for families and visitors.
Our school office operates across two dedicated reception areas, and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to rotate between Student Reception and Visitor Reception, gaining a broad understanding of school operations and building strong relationships across our community.
At Visitor Reception, you will be the first friendly face guests meet - welcoming parents, visitors, governors and professionals, managing enquiries, coordinating sign‑in procedures ensuring compliance with our safeguarding requirements and ensuring all receive a positive and professional experience.
At Student Reception, you will provide essential support to our students, helping with day‑to‑day needs, responding to welfare matters, supporting attendance processes, and ensuring students feel safe, valued and cared for. This is a varied and rewarding role where every day brings new opportunities to make an impact.
You will support the wider school team through effective administration, communication, record keeping and organisation - helping create an environment where students and staff can thrive.

- A highly organised individual who can manage priorities in a busy environment
- Someone who values confidentiality, care, and attention to detail
- Strong IT skills and confidence using systems such as Microsoft Office
- A calm, supportive approach when working with students, parents, and colleagues
