We are looking for a professional and welcoming receptionist to look after our students, staff and visitors upon arrival and departure. Mainly based at our college reception the role also includes dealing with outgoing post, answering email and telephone queries, and providing student attendance and administration support. You will have excellent customer service, communication and administration skills, and experience of working in a busy office environment.
Do you want to join us? You will come to a school full of creative and intelligent students. You will find a capable and experienced team of adults that support children’s learning and who are very proud that OFSTED rates our pastoral care as a strength of our schools. We have one non-negotiable: you must be passionate about the care, happiness and learning of the children you’ll work with. It is also vitally important that you bring a sense of humour.
We value our staff and believe in them. We offer you training and support to develop, along with a friendly and supportive team of colleagues to work with too.
Wigston Academies Trust is made up of Wigston Academy (11-16) and Wigston College (16-19). Both were rated strong good in our last OFSTEDs in May and June 2022.
Come and have a look around – we’d love to meet you.
