Blatchington Mill School needs a Receptionist to join the Administration Team at this successful and popular large secondary school.

This role is very important, being the first point of contact with our school for students, families and visitors. We seek candidates who understand the essential balance to be welcoming and friendly alongside the need to be professional and highly efficient.

We take Safeguarding and Child Protection seriously at Blatchington Mill School and the diligence of our Receptionists is key to these procedures.
