School Receptionist and Attendance Officer

We are currently partnering with an independent school in City of London who are looking to find a receptionist to start in September 2024 for their newly refurbished sixth form. This would start on a temporary basis but has the potential to develop into a permanent position for the right candidate.

Location: Central London

Start Date: September 2024

Contract: Permanent, Full Time

Salary: £30,150 (term time only)

The ideal candidate will be professional, organised, and passionate about working with children. As the receptionist and office worker, you will be responsible for managing the school’s front desk and providing administrative support to the school’s staff.

Your duties will include answering phone calls, greeting visitors, managing attendance and the school’s database, handling mail and correspondence, assisting with the enrolment process, and providing general office support as needed.

In addition, this role involves interacting with parents both in person, over the phone, and by email. The role requires extensive interaction with both the staff and pupils, and teamwork is integral to the school’s culture.

Consequently, it is crucial that the successful candidate is personable and enjoys engaging with families. They should possess excellent interpersonal skills and be comfortable serving as a welcoming presence at the front desk.

Additionally, possessing strong IT skills is paramount for success in this role. It is essential that the ideal candidate is proficient in the use of technology and has experience with a wide range of applications.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is looking to develop their administrative skills in a supportive and engaging school environment.
