About the Role
As the face and voice of the school, you will be at the heart of their daily operations, providing a warm welcome and efficient support to all visitors, students, and staff. This is a varied and rewarding role where no two days are the same.

- Proficient in using Microsoft Office.
- A team player with a positive, proactive and resilient attitude.
- Empathetic and patient, with a genuine interest in supporting young people.

Our Client's Commitment To Safeguarding
Our client is committed to ensuring the highest levels of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of their students, and they expect all their staff to share this commitment. They adopt a fair, robust and consistent recruitment process which is in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education. This includes online checks for shortlisted candidates. All offers of employment will be conditional on a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check, references, health check and, where applicable, a prohibition from teaching check.
The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020) provides that when applying for certain jobs and activities certain convictions are considered "protected". This means that they do not need to be disclosed to employers and, if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account. Guidance about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed can be found on the Ministry of Justice Website and on the websites of charities NACRO and UNLOCK.

As a school, our client is passionate about diversity and recognizes that as individuals we all bring something unique to the role regardless of any protected characteristics which is why they treat all of their people equally, without compromise. They are committed to providing equality and fairness throughout their recruitment and employment practices and not discriminating on any grounds.
