The Opportunity

Wayman Education is seeking a polished, professional, and welcoming School Receptionist for an immediate start at a thriving school in Hounslow . As the first point of contact for parents, visitors, and pupils, you will play a vital role in shaping the school's reputation and ensuring the front office runs like clockwork.

The Role

This is a fast-paced and varied position that requires a calm head and a friendly smile. You will manage the busy reception desk, handle diverse enquiries, and provide essential administrative support to the wider school office.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Front-of-House: Welcoming all visitors, ensuring they are signed in according to safeguarding protocols, and issuing visitor passes.

  • Communication: Managing a busy switchboard, directing calls efficiently, and handling the school’s general email correspondence.

  • Pupil Services: Assisting students with general enquiries, managing late arrivals, and coordinating with the medical room when necessary.

  • Administrative Support: Assisting with school mailings, data entry on the student database, and preparing materials for school events.

  • Safeguarding: Maintaining a secure reception area and ensuring all visitors adhere to the school’s entry and exit procedures.

The School

This Hounslow-based school is known for its inclusive community and energetic atmosphere. The administrative team is the "engine room" of the school, and you will be working in a supportive environment where your organizational skills are highly valued.

Why join this team?

  • Immediate Impact: Join a team that needs your organizational flair right away, helping to streamline the daily school routine.

  • Dynamic Environment: No two days are the same in a school reception, offering plenty of variety and human interaction.

  • Local Connectivity: Ideally situated for West London residents, with excellent access via local bus routes, the Piccadilly line, and the M4.

  • Professional Development: Gain valuable experience in school-specific software and the statutory regulations of the education sector.

Requirements

  • Previous experience in a reception or front-of-house role (experience in a school or medical setting is an advantage).

  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with a professional telephone manner.

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook).

  • Experience using a school Management Information System (MIS) such as SIMS, Arbor, or Bromcom is highly desirable.

  • A proactive approach to problem-solving and the ability to multitask under pressure.

  • An enhanced DBS check (or a willingness to undergo one immediately).
