Receptionist / Admin Assistant (E4734) - Mount St Mary's Catholic High School

Mount St Mary's is a successful and oversubscribed inner city school located in the very heart of the city. Drawing from three of the four compass points the school flourishes in an atmosphere of engagement and aspiration drawing hugely upon the experiences of our incredibly diverse community.

In April 2019 the school underwent a Section 48 Inspection gaining an overall judgement of Good with Outstanding. The report comments "Students are polite, confident and respectful in the way they treat each other and interact with staff and visitors. They are .. highly articulate and proud of their school and their personal achievements. Behaviour in school is excellent and a strength of the school as it reflects its Catholic character."

Our recent Section 5 OFSTED Inspection (10/2019) graded our school as 'Good' in all areas. It described us as a joyful place, with an authentic mission...clearly embraced by all the school community and foragers a passion... for desiring to give back. Leaders have developed a nurturing school, one in which there is a strong sense of responsibility towards each other. We have a well-established reputation for our care, guidance and support ensuring all learners are afforded a high level of structure and personalised development.

With the return to national progress comparatives in 2022, Mount St Mary's topped both local and regional tables for P8. This success was replicated in 2023, and again in 2024, where we continue to buck the national trends.

All students seek to access extracurricular activities beyond the school day, be that of a sporting nature, academic, performing arts or public speaking. This is an area we value highly and continue to see growth in.

Are you warm, caring and professional with an enthusiastic and positive outlook which you seek to apply to all interactions? This role may be perfect for you!

We are seeking to appoint a receptionist who will be the hugely important and influential first point of contact for visitors and callers. The ability to convey our ethos and culture through the briefest of encounters is a strength of the reception team and brings daily accolades for the positive relationships this fosters. At Mount St Mary's our non-teaching professionals are as essential to the work we undertake, and successes we experience, as any other member of the school staff.

You will need proven customer facing and admin experience, however, training on school systems will be available if required.
