Part of the Tormead family, Rydes Hill Pre-Prep and Nursery School provides exceptional education and pastoral care for children aged 2-7 within idyllic surroundings in the suburbs of Guildford.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and well-presented School Secretary to be the first point of contact for parents and visitors, providing a warm and responsive front of house service. Key responsibilities will include creating a vital first impression to visitors, answering the main school telephone and dealing with all queries from parents, pupils and visitors, administering first aid and ensuring the safety and welfare of the children as a first priority.
No two days are the same, as a result, being flexible in responding to the changing needs of our school and nursery will be key. We are seeking a team player with excellent interpersonal and communication skills, who can also work independently, and is highly administratively efficient. Experience of working in an educational environment would be considered favourably but is not essential.
This is a full-time, 52-week role, with working hours of 8.00am to 6.00pm during term time and 8.00am to 4.00pm during school holidays. We are also open to considering part-time or job share arrangements for the right candidate(s). We offer a friendly and inclusive working environment, and our benefits package includes a competitive salary, 5 weeks’ annual leave plus bank holidays, professional development opportunities, and free lunch when school is in session.
For more information and to apply for the role, please visit our website or click HERE.
The closing date for applications is Monday 5 October at 9.00am . However, applications will be considered in the order in which they are received, and the School reserves the right to make an appointment prior to the closing date should the ideal candidate(s) be identified.
Tormead School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and an enhanced DBS check.
