The Federation and Academy
Haberdashers’ Aske’s Crayford Academy is a very successful 3-18 school, proud to belong to the Haberdashers’ Aske’s Federation. Ours is an exciting and innovative model for education within the community that we serve, with broad appeal to parents and pupils alike.
Offering education across all key stages which has consistently been judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted, most recently in December 2014, we are oversubscribed at each point of entry. Facilities on each site of the school are first class, from the building itself to the resources which support the delivery of a broad curriculum and contribute to ensuring we deliver an education for character.
Crayford Temple Grove (CTG), the Primary Phase of the Haberdashers’ Aske’s Crayford Academy started as a one form entry Primary on the Crayford site in 2009. Since then it has grown and opened a second campus on the old Slade Green Junior Site. This has given the opportunity for more children in Bexley and Kent to receive a Haberdashers’ education. Although we have two campuses we are a single primary school with a philosophy of ensuring that children receive the same high quality education which ever class or campus they are in.
Haberdashers’ Aske’s Crayford Academy is 30 minutes from London Bridge by train and the school’s proximity to the capital is a strong factor in enabling teachers to enhance the cultural experience for our pupils through enrichment activities. This is an exciting opportunity for anyone wishing to join a welcoming and successful school.
The Role
We would like to recruit an exceptional receptionist to work within the primary school, providing high quality and timely reception and administrative support to the school
The role of the primary receptionist is varied and interesting at a time of change for the primary sites, with two new Primary Head Teachers joining the academy in August. You will be supported by your line manager, the Primary Administrator (who divides her time between our two primary sites) a primary Receptionist based on the North Campus and the wider administration team within the academy.
The Candidate
You will be part of an experienced team ensuring high levels of customer service are given at all times. Flexibility of duties is expected and the role can be busy and pressured at peak times. Ideally, we are looking for someone who has previous experience of working in a school. However it is more important that you have excellent customer service skills, be a positive and motivated team member to work independently and as part of the wider team, are able to remain calm and reassuring as a prime first aider dealing with a variety of medical issues on a daily basis, have a high level of accuracy and good working knowledge of the Mircosoft Office packages, and enjoy daily interaction with pupils, staff and visitors.
If you believe you fill this brief, we look forward to receiving your application.
