  • 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.
