Administrative Assistant

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking to recruit a highly motivated and reliable Admin Assistant to join our team. The role of Administrative Assistant/Receptionist is central to the school’s communication and administrative support team.

This role is vital in the administrative team supporting the Executive Headteacher, Head of School, staff and pupils. You will work as part of a team providing excellent customer service to all visitors and enquiries to our school.

You will need to be motivated and enjoy working within a busy environment. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate a high level of competency in IT and excellent organisational skills. Experience of working in a similar environment is desirable but training will be provided.

Holy Family Catholic Primary School is part of The Learning Federation Partnership of Schools. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in 2025 and located on the east side of Southampton, we benefit from a spacious site that offers excellent facilities and enriching experiences for our children. These include a large sports field, well‑equipped playgrounds, and a dedicated ECO area for weekly outdoor learning, alongside regular music and sports provision and a wide range of external trips and experiences.

Our children enjoy a carefully designed, engaging, and knowledge‑rich curriculum. Learning is brought to life through key concepts that help them make meaningful connections and better understand the world around them. As a result, our pupils are highly engaged, well‑behaved, and approach their learning with a positive growth mindset.

Our team is collaborative, proactive, and reflective, with a shared commitment to the learning, development, and wellbeing of every child.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This role involves working with children and young people and requires applicants to undertake a Disclosure and Barring Service check.
