You'll also manage incoming/outgoing mail, handle deliveries, and keep reception and waiting areas tidy and welcoming. Maintaining diaries, meetings, and staff locations will also be part of your daily routine.
Administration & Record Keeping
You'll develop and maintain accurate electronic and manual records, update attendance information, and support the monitoring of family engagement and outcomes. You'll generate statistical reports, prepare documents for inspections, update essential policies, and create presentations or documentation when needed.
Finance Support
You'll process payments, respond to basic financial queries, and may manage and reconcile petty cash floats.
General Administrative Support
Your role will include arranging meetings, taking minutes, distributing papers, organising appointments, and providing cover where needed. You may also assist with opening and closing the building, ensuring smooth day-to-day operations.
We're seeking someone who is organised, professional, and adaptable, with strong communication skills and a positive, team-focused approach.
