Do you want to make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable pupils? Do you want to work in an inclusive, nurturing school? Do you want to be part of a Trust that supports career progression? If so, this is an exciting opportunity to join Elements Academy, our brand new special school for children with social, emotional and mental health needs in Rotherham (S25) as it opens its doors in September 2022.

We are looking for a Receptionist to provide a friendly, efficient and customer focused front of house service to all stakeholders including staff, students, parents/carers and visitors. Your reception duties will include answering routine telephone and face to face enquiries sensitively, appropriately and in a professional, calm manner.

You will possess a Level 2 qualification or Intermediate City and Guilds Craft or Part 2, or have evidence of the equivalent level of knowledge gained through work experience. You will have experience of working within a school environment, covering reception and administrative duties (or in another customer focused role), combined with experience of using school management information systems or similar.

We are ambitious for growth and the development of our staff members and pupils and as such, there will be opportunities for progression within the Trust for successful candidates.

In return, we are able to offer a welcoming Trust with supportive management and a strong programme of staff development. You will receive exceptional support through our outstanding staff teams who are skilled at working with young people with needs across the SEMH range.

About Ethos Academy Trust

Ethos Academy Trust is located within Kirklees and Wakefield, West Yorkshire, expanding in September 2022 into Rotherham, South Yorkshire. The overarching aim of the Trust is to create academies that provide environments that are welcoming, caring, calm, safe and purposeful and that, within a nurturing ethos, stretch our learners academically, support them pastorally and develop them socially and emotionally.

We seek to explore and celebrate the qualities that make our pupils unique. We believe passionately that education, at every stage of the pupil journey, is about the development and nurture of the whole child. We aspire for all our pupils to become confident, happy and caring individuals who achieve personal success and develop a love of learning and of life.

In addition to our five academies (Ethos College, Reach Academy, Engage Academy, Evolve Academy and Elements Academy), the Trust provides wide ranging early intervention outreach support and training to mainstream schools, alongside managing the statutory exclusions process on behalf of Kirklees Local Authority.
