Job Description:

Administration Assistant / Receptionist

The Role (a.k.a. The Heartbeat of the School!)

Are you the kind of person who can greet visitors with a smile, tame ringing phones like a pro, and organise chaos into calm… all before your second cup of tea?

We’re on the lookout for a super-organised, people-loving, multitasking wizard to become the face (and voice) of University Collegiate School.

What You’ll Be Doing (Your Superpowers in Action):

  • Welcoming students, staff, parents, and visitors with warmth and professionalism
  • Managing a busy reception desk (phones, emails, enquiries… you name it!)
  • Keeping admin tasks ticking along like a perfectly oiled machine
  • Supporting the wider school team with day-to-day operations
  • Being the go-to person for “Where do I go?” and “Can you help?” moments

What We’re Looking For:

  • A natural people person with a friendly, confident manner
  • Organised, detail-loving and able to juggle tasks without dropping the ball
  • Calm under pressure (even when the bell rings and everything happens at once!)
  • Strong IT and communication skills
  • A team player with a positive, can-do attitude
  • Bonus points if you bring a sense of humour and a love of a lively school environment!

Benefits:

  • An additional day of leave – a wellness day to focus on your wellbeing
  • Cycle to work scheme and family friendly policies
  • Local Government Pension Scheme
  • A supportive, forward-thinking school community
  • Students who will surprise, challenge, and occasionally confuse you (in a good way)
  • Opportunities to innovate and bring your weird and wonderful ideas to life
  • Tea. Lots of tea. Possibly biscuits.
