We are seeking to recruit a permanent part time Administration Assistant working term time in our busy but happy School Office environment at Gledhow Primary School.
The successful candidate will be the first point of contact for all our visitors, working on the main School Reception desk. There is also an element of general administration tasks to undertake such as updating pupil information system, recording of pupil medical incidents and collating school dinner information. This person will be the first point of contact for face to face and telephone enquiries from visitors, parents, staff, contractors and other professionals and, therefore, a high level of confidentiality, organisational skills and a keen eye for attention to detail is required. We are happy to consider any candidate with the equivalent transferrable skills. Full training will be given, however, if the successful candidate can demonstrate some or all of the following skills, then this will be advantageous:-
- A knowledge of School SIMs.
- A knowledge of ParentPay or Magic Booking systems
- A good knowledge of Office 365 (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook).
- Good technical skills as the School uses several apps/websites for processing.
- Ability to deliver a high level of customer service in order to deal with enquiries, queries and complaints/compliments from a wide range of internal/external customers, suppliers and most importantly, parents.
Team working skills are essential in this role as the office is the hive of activity and supporting each other is paramount.
