We are seeking a highly organised, personable and flexible individual to join our busy school office team.
This is a varied role combining front-of-house reception duties and administrative support. The postholder will be responsible for answering telephone calls, handling visitor enquiries, dealing with post, escorting students around the school site, and liaising with parents and students as required. The postholder will also be required to carry out administrative tasks as directed by the Senior Administrator, such as sending communications to parents by post, email and text message, producing letters and other documents, data input, and reprographics as necessary.
