Administrative Assistant – Reception Focus (Gap Year Student)

Westminster Under School is seeking a talented and enthusiastic gap year student to work at the School from the beginning of October 2021. 

Applications for the entire 2021 / 22 academic year are preferred, finishing in the first week of July 2022.

Gap Students assist in all areas of the day-to-day running of the School. This particular role has a focus on Reception; duties will include greeting visitors and answering the phone. The successful applicant will report principally to the Deputy Master and will be encouraged to take a full and active role in the curricular and extra-curricular activities that take place.

Gap Students typically work from 8.00am to 4.30pm on Mondays to Fridays during term time, including an hour’s break. Assistance for occasional evenings and Saturdays may also be required. The role comes with paid holidays for part of the time that School is not in session.

This role suits people who are confident, mature, self-directed and who like working with younger people. The role may be particularly beneficial for someone who is considering a career in education, though this is not essential. Competence in the main Office software and similar is an advantage.
