We are transforming lives - do you want to join us?
The Queen Elizabeth Academy are seeking to appoint a Receptionist to join our well established, friendly administration team, taking a full and active part in the varied daily life of our forward thinking, modern academy.
The role involves acting as the first point of contact for the school. You will be dealing with a wide range of student queries, stakeholder queries and supporting with school visitors in a friendly, legal and compliant manner. Our Receptionist will value the requirement to create a good first impression for visitors and will value the importance of safeguarding and security at the front of the school. The successful candidate will be an effective communicator, able to work well within a team but also to use their own initiative when required.
The Queen Elizabeth Academy is an 11-16 mixed academy based in Atherstone with approximately 715 pupils on roll. Following our Ofsted inspection in June 2022, we retained our "Good" rating, a real testament to the hard work and dedication of our staff and students. Ofsted commented the pupils were "respectful of each other's views and are exceptionally supportive. Pupils behave well. They are proud of their school and the improvements that have been made in recent years. Pupils enjoy school and know that leaders and staff have the highest expectations for them." The Ofsted report is a fair reflection of the academy and we continue to develop as we push from Good to Great.
In November 2016, as part of the Priority School Building Programme, we moved into brand new premises that have given us access to fantastic new facilities, which really set us apart in the locality.
As a proud Academy Transformation Trust academy we are devoted to professional development and support which is second to none. Our trust is registered as Disability Confident and we welcome all applications. Our ATT Institute offers hundreds of training events and leadership accreditation qualifications to develop your talent to its full potential. As an academy we believe it is our role to develop your expertise to the full through supportive coaching in order to transform the lives of our students.
Do you want to make a real difference to the lives of our students?
Do you have what it takes to work with a determined leadership team and staff, which promote excellence, and consistently challenge you to improve?
If so you may well have the "Golden Thread" we are looking for, a shared vision which links all of our staff.
