What You'll Be Doing

Based at one of our Exeter schools, you'll be the friendly face and voice of our schools—handling enquiries, supporting families, and keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.

What We're looking For

  • Exceptionally personable with strong communication skills (in person and on the phone)
  • Highly organised with a keen eye for detail
  • Confident using Microsoft 365 (Teams, Outlook, OneNote, Excel)
  • A team player with a "get the job done" attitude
  • Comfortable working independently and managing multiple priorities

What we Offer

  • Competitive salary: £23,943 full time equivalent plus holiday allowance / approx. £22,636 actual salary for a 40-week year.
  • Generous pension scheme
  • Health & wellbeing benefits
  • Cycle to work scheme
  • Subsidised meals from our in-house chefs
  • Professional development
  • Discounted childcare in our clubs and holiday schemes
  • State-of-the-art IT equipment

Working Hours

Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5:00pm (30-minute lunch break) for 40 weeks a year (term time plus 5 non-pupil days plus an additional 5 days in the school holidays)

Key Dates

Closing Date: 21st December 2025
