We are seeking an enthusiastic, motivated and skilled person to join the Loxwood team. Would you like to be the ‘face of Loxwood School’? You will be the first person to greet our staff and families when they arrive at the school.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the office team at our village primary school. Loxwood Primary School is a small, rural, friendly and busy community where the children’s well-being is at the heart of everything that we do. The role has many aspects and would suit someone keen to be part of a really wonderful team of staff, governors, pupils and volunteers.
This position requires a person who can demonstrate flexibility, works well within a small team, but is also self-motivated and can work on their own when necessary. It can be a pressurised environment, so we are looking for someone who can keep calm and think clearly under the demands of a busy school reception.
Knowledge of Microsoft Office, excellent organisational skills, the ability to prioritise and a strong attention detail is essential. We are looking for a dedicated individual who will be a proactive member of the school community. Flexibility and commitment are essential characteristics of the role, in addition to demonstrating common sense and initiative at all times. The Receptionist is responsible to the Headteacher and Business Manager and will be responsible for managing first aid across the school.
The job description and person specification shown in this pack will give you a good indication of who we are looking for, including the skills and experience that would make for our ideal candidate. I would be delighted to receive an application from you if, upon consideration, you feel that this role and Loxwood may be right for you.
