Lead Receptionist & SIMS Administrator

Grade 5 PTS 7-9 (£16,578 – £17,631 Term Time + 195 Days)

Required As Soon As Possible

John Spence is a popular and successful school, serving students from the North Shields area of North Tyneside.    We have an exciting opportunity for a friendly, outgoing, hardworking professional to join our highly effective school office team as Lead Receptionist and SIMS Administrator. The successful candidate will be:

• Highly motivated and committed
• Well organised and punctual with a professional attitude to work
• Willing to work as part of a hard-working, dedicated team
• Positive, proactive, with a good sense of humour who is willing to work flexibly to meet the changing needs of the school
• Be an active member of school life and actively subscribe to the ethos of the school
• Willing to be first aid trained

In this role you will be surrounded by children so you will need to be comfortable and confident in communicating with them. You should be calm, assured and professional in all your dealings and have a naturally friendly and warm personality.

This is a challenging role where you will sometimes face multiple demands on your attention, sometimes keeping a careful eye on children who are feeling unwell and waiting to be picked up by parents or guardians to go home, so you will, as part of the role, need to be prepared to be first aid trained. We are also looking for someone who likes to be organised, knows how to prioritise and can work without supervision.

Potential candidates are welcome to contact Melissa Tunney, School Business Manager for an informal discussion on [email protected]

Application forms and further details can be downloaded via school website at www.johnspence.org.uk.  Completed application forms along with a covering letter should be returned by 10am on Friday 13^th March 2020 to the Headteachers PA via email to [email protected]
