We are looking for an excellent Receptionist to join our administrative team. This is a busy, varied and highly visible role at the heart of the school, with significant daily contact with our students as well as parents, staff, visitors and members of the wider community. Enjoying working with young people and being able to build positive, professional relationships with them is therefore an essential part of the role.
As well as being the welcoming face of New Mills School, our receptionist plays an important part in supporting the smooth running of each school day and reinforcing our expectations for students. This includes welcoming students who arrive late to school, ensuring that they are registered and directed appropriately, checking uniform and supporting our expectations around punctuality and readiness to learn. The successful candidate will need to combine warmth and approachability with the confidence to uphold school expectations consistently and positively.
The postholder will also take responsibility for the day-to-day management of the reception area, including welcoming and managing visitors to the site, operating the main switchboard, communicating with parents and other stakeholders, managing incoming and outgoing post, and undertaking a range of administrative duties.
We are looking for someone who is friendly, professional and organised, and who genuinely enjoys working with young people. You will be confident communicating with students and adults from all walks of life, have a strong customer-service approach and be able to use your initiative, manage competing demands and remain calm under pressure.
Above all, you will be a strong team player who understands that working in a school is about much more than completing a set of administrative tasks. Every member of staff contributes to our culture and to the experience our students have each day. We are looking for someone who will take pride in being part of that.
The working hours are Monday to Thursday, 8.00am-4.00pm, and Friday, 8.00am-3.30pm, term time only.
We would be willing to consider a job share for the right candidates; please make this clear on your application form.
