Due to the restructure of our busy offices the Headteacher and Governors of Darnhall Primary School wish to appoint a confident, cheerful, well-organised, experienced, motivated and flexible Receptionist / Admin Assistant to work in our busy school office for 35 hours a week. The set hours of work will be 8am to 3.30pm Monday to Friday. The school is a split site school and this position may be working at either site. The successful person will be expected to be able to work from their own initiative as well as under the direction of the School Business Manager and office staff.

The successful candidate will be the initial point of contact for visitors and will deal with enquiries from parents/carers, children and members of the public.  Excellent interpersonal skills are required as well as administrative skills and an ability to use Microsoft Excel and Word.  The successful candidate also needs good organisational skills, the ability to work under pressure and a good sense of humour. Experience of working in a school office with SIMS and other school’s applications would be an advantage but is not essential as training can be provided.

Our school community places the highest priority on keeping our children safe. Applicants for all posts are subject to stringent vetting and induction processes. The successful candidate will be subject to an Enhanced DBS check. Cheshire West and Chester is committed to Equal Opportunities in Employment
