School Receptionist

St Claudine’s Catholic School for Girls is a highly-successful Catholic girls’ comprehensive school (ages 11-18) in the northwest London Borough of Brent. We require a School Receptionist to start in September or as soon as possible thereafter. Learning at St Claudine’s is rooted in the Gospel values in a warm, supportive and nurturing community. Even though we are a Catholic School, it is not a requirement to be Catholic and our international community welcomes staff and students of all faiths and none. Behaviour at the school is outstanding and students are educated via a rich and diverse, holistic curriculum to become confident, articulate and independent young people. We require a warm and welcoming, cheerful colleague to join our busy administration team, working as our school receptionist. Being the first person to greet our visitors and the first person to give a positive impression of our wonderful school, it is important for candidates to have a friendly disposition and to make visitors, students and parents feel welcomed. Excellent interpersonal skills, high levels of organisational skills, proficiency on telephone switchboard and use of IT are essential requirements for the job. The role also involves receiving delegated administration tasks. Although we are a Catholic school, it is not a requirement for candidates to be catholic. Our multicultural and multifaith school welcomes applicants of all faiths and no faith.
