Emmbrook Infant School - School Receptionist/Admin Assistant

We are looking for a highly organised, pro-active and committed School Receptionist/Admin Assistant to support our outstanding infant school. This role is a pivotal and demanding front of house position providing admin support as well as ensuring the effective and smooth running of the school reception.  As the first point of contact the ability to communicate in a warm, welcoming, prompt and professional manner both verbally and in all written communication is crucial.

You will work closely with the School office team. The post requires a high level of efficiency and would suit a ‘people person’ who enjoys taking ownership and responsibility of key tasks including but not limited to welcoming all visitors, responding to general queries and monitoring and reporting on school attendance.

The successful candidate will have extensive admin experience and the ability to work on their own initiative with minimal supervision whilst working to tight deadlines. Prioritising effectively and responding to situations as they arise in a fast-paced environment is a key factor in this role. This is an extremely busy and rewarding role where you will need to be hands on and focussed whilst maintaining a flexible and positive approach. You will have a good sense of humour and enjoy working within a supportive team where no two days are ever the same!

The ideal candidate will be an excellent communicator, both written and verbal and will ideally have current working knowledge of Microsoft 365. Previous experience working in a busy school office, using Arbor and CPOMS would be an advantage but full training will be provided for the right person.

If this exciting, challenging and varied role sounds like you then we would love to hear from you.

Visits to our school are warmly welcomed and encouraged.  Please telephone the school office on 0118 978 4259 if you would like to arrange a visit.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant must be willing to undergo screening appropriate to the post. This will include an enhanced DBS check.
