Uplands Academy is looking to appoint a Receptionist based within the Sports Centre. We are looking for someone who is highly organised, approachable, flexible and displays excellent communication and administration skills. The role requires working at pace and the ability to prioritise and work well under pressure. You will be proactive and able to work independently, as well as part of a wider team. This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and adaptable person who brings integrity, imagination and energy to play a vital role within a dedicated team of staff.

This role is part-time shift work, 20 hours per week, 52 weeks a year. You will be required to work one weekend in three on a rolling basis. Shifts will be pre-allocated and will be Monday to Friday 7am to 10pm, Saturdays 8am to 4pm and Sundays 9am to 3pm.

We are a mixed 11–18 non-selective converter academy with approximately 835 students. Uplands Academy converted to an Academy in September 2022 and became a member of the MARK Education Trust (formerly Beacon Community College Academy Trust). The acronym MARK was selected because staff who work in the trust are motivated, ambitious, resourceful, and knowledgeable. This partnership will provide many exciting opportunities for professional development and the sharing of good practice across the two schools. This is the start of a new era for Uplands and an excellent time to join our thriving rural school.

We work meticulously to secure a culture of unapologetically high expectations that are underpinned by our collective, uncompromising belief and ambition for the students of Uplands Academy and for the experienced, loyal, highly skilled and highly effective team of staff that teach them, allowing teachers to teach and students to learn. The Academy is committed to the development of both its staff and students.

At Uplands Academy, the relationships between our staff and our students are excellent and ones that we are proud of. Our staff have high expectations, are ambitious for our students, and they know them well. We pride ourselves on our rigorous focus on the child as a unique individual, including our most disadvantaged and those with SEND. We ensure that the lessons that our students receive are personalised and inclusive, enabling them to be actively engaged in their learning. We want our children to be happy, successful, and confident by providing the best possible education for all our students. We want to be an exceptional educational establishment for our community.
