What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for a friendly, enthusiastic and caring person to cover our reception and medical room for part of the week as part of a job share.

Duties include dealing with enquiries from students, parents and members of the public, as well as external agencies, which can be face-to-face as well as by phone and email. Therefore, you will need to be confident working with our students, but also a great communicator and administrator (including use of IT) and happy to work alone as well as part of a wider team. Our reception is open from 8.15am – 4.15pm Monday to Friday during term time only.

Our receptionists are our main first aiders so you will also be taking care of students who are unwell. Therefore, ideally you will already have some medical or pastoral experience and hold a valid First Aid at Work Certificate, but training can be provided for the right candidate.
