About us
Chaigeley School is a Non-maintained Special School that caters for young people between the ages of 8 and
16 who experience Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties. We provide a specialist
environment where all pupils have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). Our school ethos is rooted in
the Quaker principle of respect for the individual and valuing every person's contribution. We are an Ofsted-
rated 'Good' school committed to supporting every pupil to achieve their best. Our Vision is to prepare and
empower our young people with all the skills they need to live independent lives, become valued members of
the community and achieve their true potential.

The Role
We are seeking a part-time professional, welcoming and highly organised School Receptionist to be the first
point of contact for our school community. The post holder will play a vital role in ensuring the smooth and
efficient running of the school reception and supporting wider administrative functions.

The role involves managing all aspects of the school reception, including handling telephone and face-to-face
enquiries with empathy and discretion, ensuring the reception area is staffed at key times of the school day,
and maintaining a calm, orderly and secure environment. You will be responsible for managing visitors,
ensuring safeguarding and security procedures are followed at all times, and maintaining accurate sign-in
systems and evacuation records.

In addition, the role includes responsibility for school attendance processes, ensuring registers are accurately
completed, absence messages are managed appropriately, and relevant staff are informed while maintaining
confidentiality. You will also provide administrative support, including managing mail, stationery and uniform
supplies, supporting staff queries, maintaining office systems, and ensuring pupil records are kept accurate
and up to date. The post holder will be responsible to organise, book and confirm supply staff.

Health and safety, security and safeguarding are central to this role. You will be expected to understand and
follow all relevant school policies, participate in emergency procedures when required, and demonstrate a
strong commitment to safeguarding in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education. As with all roles in school,
duties may evolve to meet the changing needs of the organisation.

The Candidate
The successful candidate will be friendly, calm and professional, with the ability to work effectively in a busy
environment. You will have excellent communication skills and be confident interacting with pupils, parents,
staff and external visitors. A high level of discretion, confidentiality and attention to detail is essential.

You will be organised, flexible and proactive, able to prioritise tasks and respond to changing demands
throughout the school day. Confidence in using and learning new IT systems is important, along with the
ability to maintain accurate data across multiple platforms. Experience within a school setting, particularly in a
SEND or SEMH environment, would be advantageous but is not essential.

Essential Qualifications and Experience:

•  Proven experience in general administrative duties
•  Ability to maintain detailed, accurate and confidential records
•  Strong oral and written communication skills
•  Ability to organise, prioritise and work effectively in a busy office environment
•  Confidence in liaising professionally with parents, pupils, staff and external bodies

Safer Recruitment in the Diocese of Ely

The Diocese of Ely is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults, and expects all employees to undertake safeguarding checks and training relevant to their role and to adhere to the  Church of England’s safeguarding policies and procedures . Therefore, this position is subject to an enhanced disclosure from the DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service).

A Diverse and Inclusive Workforce  

The Diocese of Ely is committed to creating and sustaining a diverse and inclusive workforce which represents our context and wider community.

Our Diocese

The Diocese of Ely stretches from Cambridge to Peterborough and out towards the coastal areas of West Norfolk. It houses 3/4 million people, which will rise to 1 million in the next 15 years.

This area buzzes with energy from the academic, business and medical excellence of Cambridge University to the rich agricultural areas of Huntingdon, Fenland and Norfolk and the diverse, growing city of Peterborough. Ely Cathedral from the River OuseDespite the presence of a world leading university, Cambridgeshire is not all affluent. Towns and cities have pockets of poverty and low attainment. Some rural areas can be isolated and vulnerable, but this village is thriving and well connected.

The Diocese of Ely is a good place to live and work: stable finances, good housing, inclusive and warm hearted senior colleagues, coupled with a rich diversity of benefices in all traditions make this a place that clergy stay once they have discovered us. We have over 110 incumbent status clergy, with a strong Diocesan team, and a real emphasis on lay development and training. We have no plans to reduce clergy numbers.

We anticipate the announcement of a new Diocesan Bishop in early 2026, and the diocese remains on a steady course. Our Mission Strategy, Ely 2025, devolves much decision making to the parishes, benefices and deaneries, so that clergy are able to innovate, take ...
