Job description

Regent High School is seeking a proactive Administrative Assistant and Receptionist to join our team on a full-time basis. As the first point of contact for our school, you will play an integral role in providing a warm, professional, and efficient service to our students, families, staff, and visitors.

This is a dynamic, fast-paced role essential to the daily running of our school. You will manage front-of-house reception, handle the main switchboard, and oversee administrative email communications.

Beyond welcoming visitors, you'll serve as a helpful central hub for students handling timetable queries, guidance, and lost property.

Your day-to-day duties will also include managing room bookings, coordinating trip logistics, and maintaining strict confidentiality across personal records in line with GDPR guidelines. Additionally, you will administer basic first aid and keep accurate records on our medical tracking database.

Are you an enthusiastic, organised professional with secondary school experience looking for a rewarding role at the heart of a vibrant community?, To thrive in this role, you should bring prior administrative experience from a UK secondary school environment alongside strong proficiency in Microsoft Office. Confidence using school platforms such as SIMS, ParentPay, or MediTracker is essential, as is fast and accurate data entry. You will need a positive, "can-do" approach, excellent interpersonal skills, and the ability to multitask and stay calm under pressure in a busy office setting.
