Dear Applicant,
Ref: Administrator or Receptionist Post
Thank you for your interest in the post of Receptionist or Administrator. We are a 4 form entry school across the
two sites (Balham & Streatham) and there are 2 Receptionists and 2 Administrators post one of each at each
site. The school office team are at the heart of where everything happens. It is a busy environment when no
two days are the same and everyone expects you to know everything and do everything. You can be a nurse one
day, attending to a poorly child to a peace negotiator for an angry parent all done with a charming smile! There
will be a total of 7 members in the team across sites under the direction of the Director of Business and Finance.
You will work together as a whole team, supporting each other in any way possible at either site, which
sometimes may mean working at either site if the need arose. The successful candidates will take up post on the
1st September 2016.
Please read the Person Specification carefully, as the decision to shortlist you for an interview will be based
solely on the information you provide on the application form. The criteria against which you will be assessed
are outlined in the person specification. You should provide evidence that you possess the skills required,
preferably by giving examples. Please include any relevant skills and experience you have gained outside paid
work and through training. Please do not submit a curriculum vita as this will not be considered. If you have any
questions about the recruitment process, or if you have a disability and have particular requirements you would
like us to consider to assist you in the process, please contact me at the address below.
The post is ‘exempt’ under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. The successful candidate for this post will
be asked to apply for an Enhanced Disclosure. Please note that in relation to Section G on the application form,
you are required to give details of all current (unspent) and ‘spent’ convictions or pending cases, cautions, bindover orders, reprimands and final warnings, including dates, the offence(s), sentences, and the court or police
force which dealt with the offence. Your declaration of this should not be sent with the application form but
should be sent under separate confidential cover to [Mrs Lorna Burg at the above address]. Please ensure that
your full name and post title with any information sent.
If you do not hear from us within two weeks of the closing date, you can assume that you have not been
shortlisted on this occasion. Please return your application form to the Streatham site by Thursday 30th June
2016 – (Noon).
