Dear Applicant

Thank you for your interest in the above post. We are seeking to appoint to the role of School Receptionist to support the smooth day-to-day running of the school’s front office. This role is central to creating a welcoming and professional first impression for visitors, parents, pupils, and staff, while also supporting administrative processes within the school.

This is an exciting opportunity and would suit someone who is currently in a similar role or looking to develop a career within school administration. You will work under the direction of the Administration Manager and be part of a friendly, welcoming, and supportive team within the school, where colleagues encourage one another and are always willing to work together and get stuck in when needed. A genuine team player is essential.

The successful applicant will:

* Be an effective communicator and a team player, with a friendly and professional manner.

* Have strong organisational and time-management skills.

* Be able to manage multiple tasks while maintaining attention to detail.

* Be committed to providing excellent customer service and contributing positively to the school environment.

* Contribute to a supportive and friendly team, reflecting and upholding the school’s ethos.

Maidenhill is a school with real momentum, ambition and heart. We are a welcoming and inclusive 11–16 school where we want every young person to feel known, valued and challenged to achieve their very best. Our mantra - Be Kind, Aspire, Persevere, Achieve - is at the heart of everything we do and reflects the culture we work hard to build every day.

This is an especially exciting time to join Maidenhill. In 2026, we are celebrating our best-ever examination results, alongside an excellent Ofsted inspection in June 2026, where the school achieved the expected standard in every area. These successes reflect the dedication of our staff, the ambition of our students and the strength of a community that believes strongly in continual improvement.

Our expectations are high because our ambitions for young people are high. We want students to enjoy their five years with us, while being equally supported and challenged to become confident, happy and successful young adults, ready to access the very best opportunities beyond Maidenhill.

We are equally ambitious for our staff. We want Maidenhill to be a place where talented people enjoy coming to work, feel valued and supported, and are given genuine opportunities to develop professionally. As we continue the next stage of our journey, we are looking for people who share our values, believe in the potential of every young person and want to play their part in shaping an increasingly successful school.

If that sounds like you, we would be delighted to welcome you to Maidenhill.
