At Richard Alibon Primary you will find a team who are absolutely committed to delivering an exceptional educational experience for our pupils and their families.

In the school office we work hard, we help each other and go out of our way to help others and find solutions rather than focusing on problems.

This is a key, varied, interesting, role that requires good people skills. Your greeting will create the first impression of our school.

We are looking for a self-motivated individual to take on the day-to-day administration in these key areas:

• Reception of visitors

• Safeguarding administration

• Diary and event administration

• Medication administration

• Clerical duties

We offer:

• A diverse, friendly and supportive community of staff and children

• A dedicated and hardworking team

• Well behaved and hardworking children who are keen to learn

• Equal access to professional development opportunities for all staff

• A leadership team committed to staff well-being and workload

We welcome applications from individuals who are:

• Effective communicators

• Strong team players who are committed to working in partnership with all members of our school community.

• A willingness to train as a first aider would be an advantage.

Your hours of work will be 8.30am to 3.30pm.

Training and induction will be provided for the successful candidate.

Applications should be made via the school website.
