School Receptionist job summary
We are looking to appoint a receptionist to work within the main reception of our school for 3 days each week - Monday to Wednesday. The school receptionist is the first point of call for all visitors. As the ‘face’ of the school, the receptionist must be personable, helpful and be able to communicate well, extending a warm welcome to represent the school in a professional and friendly manner. In addition, it is essential that the person undertaking this role is organised, able to multitask and work flexibly, be calm under pressure and have a ‘can do’, positive approach to work within a very busy and pressured environment. The receptionist must be able to provide effective administrative support using internal computer systems alongside basic office packages and photocopiers and printers.
We are exceptionally proud of our staff and the dedication they display every day to support our students to reach their potential. Whether a member of our Leadership Team, Teaching Staff or Support Team – all have a vital role to play in providing an environment where all can achieve.
New Staff joining us will have a full induction and will be paired up with an existing member of staff to support them in their first few months of employment. The induction process is for all staff and is tailored to the needs of each individual. New teachers at the start of their teaching career are well supported through the ECT and RQT process and we are pleased that many staff have stayed with us throughout their teaching careers, enhancing their skills and developing their pedagogy through our ongoing training offer.
Staff Wellbeing is a priority for us as we aim to support all of our staff to enable them to support all of our students. The headteacher takes the lead for this area and the need to manage workload and work smarter is a key focus. Student and Staff Committees focus on welfare and wellbeing for all, with further external specialist guidance and support provided by The TRUE Learning Partnership
We offer highly competitive salaries, pension scheme membership, free on-site parking and regular social events. All staff are able to access discounted gym memberships and other negotiated benefits across the Trust.
The TRUE Learning Partnership is an inclusive Equal Employment Opportunity employer that considers applicants without regard to gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, disabled or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. We welcome applications from all individuals regardless of individual background or circumstance.
The TRUE Learning Partnership is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people and preventing extremism; all staff must ensure that the highest priority is given to following the guidance and regulations to safeguard children and young people.
The successful candidate will be required to undergo an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and obtain any other statutorily required clearance including an online check. Employment will also be conditional on the receipt of at least two acceptable references (one of which must be from the current/latest employer) and evidence of the formal qualifications required for the role.

Our School is a warm and caring community for all of our 1,200 students, from when they join us in Year 7 to when they leave us in Year 13. We are a school that has the highest expectations of students and ourselves, where every student is expected to work hard, behave well and contribute positively to the school community.
Our core purpose is to support students of all abilities and backgrounds to develop high aspirations and achieve their potential. We do this by nurturing and building ambition for our students, we open opportunities, broaden horizons and introduce challenges ensuring everyone can thrive, both academically and personally, to be the best that they can be.
While with us, we encourage every member of staff to stretch themselves and we give everyone access to a wide range of learning and development opportunities. We have just started our journey to become a research based school with the aim to develop highly effective, evidence-based teaching, learning and assessment, where we collaborate as a whole staff to persistently improve our pedagogy and where we evaluate our practice habitually.
Everyone also has the ability to get involved with school life beyond their core role – whether that’s supporting one of the many extra-curricular activities and clubs, or becoming part of the student support structure we have in place for each year group. There’s always some way you can push yourself towards your own goals while inspiring and supporting our students.
We have some of the best facilities in the area having fully re-built our school in 2018. This not only provides both staff and students with everything they can expect for modern teaching and learning, but also gives us exceptional environmental credentials.
Just like our students, we welcome people to join our school from a diverse range of backgrounds. We welcome interest from enthusiastic, dedicated and hardworking individuals who wish to share in our and, more importantly, our students’ success.
