We are seeking to appoint a full-time Receptionist & PA to the Head of the Infant & Junior School.
Applications from those wishing to work part-time, as a job-share, will be considered. Please indicate, in your application, whether you would prefer full or part-time employment.
This is a central role within our Infant & Junior School; the successful candidate will, as Receptionist, provide a warm, welcoming, personal, and friendly reception experience for our children, our parents, and all visitors in our Infant & Junior School setting, as part of the whole Abbey Gate College community. As PA, the successful candidate will provide a high level of administrative, organisational, and confidential support to the Head.
Safeguarding & Child Protection:
Applicants are recommended to read the College’s most recent ISI inspection report, from November 2025, which describes further the unique ethos of our school (available at: https://www.abbeygatecollege.co.uk/about-us/inspection-reports/).
Safeguarding & Child Protection:
Abbey Gate College is committed, as a priority, to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
Applicants will, therefore, be subject to stringent vetting and induction processes, including an online search and an enhanced DBS disclosure. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a criminal records self-declaration form prior to interview. References for shortlisted candidates will be requested prior to interview; please inform your referees.
Whilst criminal convictions are not necessarily a bar to appointment, this safety consideration will be central to all decisions regarding the employment of staff, approval of volunteers, and standards of external contractors.
Equality, Diversity & Inclusion:
We are committed to equality of opportunity for all staff and to treating all staff with dignity and respect. Therefore, applications from individuals are encouraged, regardless of age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, and marriage and civil partnerships.
Process for Applications:
The closing date for applications is Monday 16th November 2026 at 9.00am.
Interviews to take place on Thursday 19th / Friday 20th November 2026.
