How would you like to get paid for five days, but only work four?
At Outcomes First Group, we believe in better work/life balance — and we’re putting wellbeing first.
That’s why we’re proud to be part of a 4-Day Working Week (4DWW) trial, where you can work one day less each week (or equivalent hours), while still receiving your full-time pay.
Many of our schools have already introduced the 4DWW — and others are preparing to roll it out as soon as they reach full staffing. So whether it’s already in place or just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to join #teamOFG.
School Receptionist
Location: Meadows View School, Stamford, PE9 2JL
Salary: £20,906.25 per annum (not pro rata)
Hours: 37.5 hours per week | Monday to Friday 8:30am – 4:30pm
Contract: Permanent | Term Time Only
Start: October 2025
UK applicants only. This role does not offer sponsorship.
About the Role
At Meadows View School, the School Receptionist is much more than a front-of-house role — you are the welcoming smile that sets the tone for everyone who enters our school. You will be the first point of contact for visitors, parents, and staff, providing friendly, professional, and reassuring support in a calm and structured environment.
You’ll ensure the safety and security of the school, manage visitor access, respond to calls and emails, and assist the Admin Lead with key administrative tasks, including attendance monitoring, communicating with parents, and maintaining accurate records. Your role is central to keeping the school running smoothly and making sure pupils, staff, and families feel valued and supported every day.
Who We’re Looking For
We are seeking a warm, organised, and approachable individual who thrives in a dynamic school environment. You should have a positive, can-do attitude, excellent communication skills, and the ability to juggle multiple tasks with professionalism and calm.
This is an opportunity to join a close-knit, supportive school community where your role truly makes a difference. If you enjoy creating welcoming, inclusive environments and being at the heart of school life, this could be the perfect role for you.
Essential Criteria
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, both verbal and written
Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
Ability to multitask and manage competing priorities in a busy school environment
Proficiency in Microsoft Office and school management systems
Friendly, approachable, and professional manner
Reliability, flexibility, and a proactive approach to problem-solving
Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people
Previous experience in a school or reception/admin role is desirable but not essential
