Peter Symonds is located in Winchester. It is a vibrant sixth form college which has been rated by Ofsted as ‘outstanding’ in every respect. Our unofficial College motto has long been ‘Counting in Ones’ and we work hard to make this a supportive and friendly place to study, with every student treated as an individual. Not only is this at the heart of our work with our students, but we also strive to support and value our staff in the same way.
Our busy Student Services Department provides a resource for students on a day to day basis. Some of these services are routine, such as the allocation of lockers, while others are more complex as the team is often the first point of contact for students with a wide range of queries. We are looking for someone to join the team to help cover the busy break and lunch periods, staffing the front desk and responding to enquiries. You will also help run and promote events organised by and for the students. Hours of work are 17.5 per week and term time only, from 10.45 am to 2.15 pm Monday to Friday.
You will have empathy with the 16 – 19 age group, excellent communication and listening skills. You will be able to work under pressure in what can be a lively and noisy common room environment, having good IT and administrative skills. Experience in working with this age group is an advantage but is not essential.
Closing date: 12 noon on 23 October 2019
Interview date: Wednesday 6 November 2019
