Receptionist and School Administrator

We are looking to appoint a highly motivated School Receptionist and Administrator to support our school community. We require an articulate, organised and well-presented individual to provide an efficient and effective reception and administration service at our school. 

You will be the first point of contact for all visitors and prospective families and, as such, a professional, customer-focused approach is essential. You will have excellent written, face-to-face and telephone communication skills. You should have experience of working in a fast-paced environment and should be able to demonstrate an ability to prioritise your workload and complete administration tasks to a high level of accuracy. A sound working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications is required. Experience of working in a school environment and with a school Management Information System is not essential but would be an advantage. 

We pride ourselves on individual education with a family ethos. We are based in Romsey on grounds of approximately 22 acres with enviable facilities including woodland, wetland, a natural pond, riding arena, a small farm, as well as the traditional playing fields and a full-size sports hall. In addition, the school shares off-site facilities with the senior school normally unavailable at this level – a 35-acre sports ground, Outdoor Education Centre in Dartmoor National Park, and exclusive use of a sailing club on Southampton Water. The school is committed to Learning Outside the Classroom and has been awarded Silver status by the LOtC.

Closing date: 9.00am on 11 November 2019.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children; applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with the Disclosure & Barring Service and past employers (where applicable).
