Working closely with the Administrator and the School Business Partner and SENDCO to provide efficient administration, you will be responsible for a range of receptionist and clerical duties. Central to this will be to provide a welcoming and efficient first point of contact for parents and visitors to the school, whether at the front desk, on the telephone, or by email.
In addition, you will use a variety of IT systems to record school data, produce reports and generate letters and other communications. You will also assume responsibility for recording and monitoring pupil absences and reporting on this as appropriate.
The job requirements

We ensure full training is provided, whether it’s through courses, apprenticeships or coaching and mentoring. What is essential is the desire to learn and a commitment to providing excellent customer service at all times to school staff, parents and our pupils.
We offer generous terms and conditions of employment. All our staff have access to a comprehensive Wellbeing Programme to help you and your family stay healthy. This includes access to free private GP and nurse appointments, exercise advice and classes, plus a variety of specialist clinics as well as counselling services. We also offer significant discounts on many high street shops, online retailers and travel agents, not to mention free car parking at all our schools, an enviable pension scheme, sick pay and family friendly policies.
