A Receptionist/Admin Assistant is required by Rutland’s brand new academic sixth form, Harington School, which will open its doors to students in September 2015.
Harington will provide a rigorous A-level academic education, focusing on the core subjects, for 300 local students (150 intake per year). It will offer a high quality sixth-form provision to students from the local area. The School will offer a curriculum designed to develop individual and academic potential, opening the doors to the most prestigious universities. Students will also be given the opportunity to extend their learning, for example by completing the Duke of Edinburgh award.
In order to carry out the full range of duties, the Receptionist/Admin Assistant will need to form good working relationships with a wide range of people: staff, students, trustees, parents, visitors and officers from external agencies. It is important that the person we appoint relates well to people and can cope with the pressures of a very busy reception area.
The Receptionist/Admin Assistant will be the first point of contact for members of the public and will have a key role in promoting the image of the School through effective and efficient communication.

About Harington School
Harington School is a free sixth form school that opened its doors on the Catmose campus in Oakham in September 2015, providing an A level academic education focusing on the core subjects. The School offers a curriculum designed to develop individual and academic potential, leading the way to the most prestigious universities and providing high quality careers advice.
In its second year, Harington was judged Outstanding by Ofsted. Our committed, supportive and hard working students were praised during the inspection in January 2017, as was our strong team of dedicated and experienced teaching staff.
At Harington we expect a lot of our learners. We want students who are mature in their approach; who will support each other and take advantage of all that the School has to offer, guided by talented teachers. This all takes place within a brand new state of the art building, which we moved into in November 2016. Built over two floors, the Harington building comprises sixteen specialist classrooms, four specialist science labs, music and art facilities and a number of seminar rooms. At the heart of Harington School is a large open area that is used for weekly assemblies, as well as concerts, performances and presentations from a range of outside speakers.
Outstanding academic success is an important feature of Harington, but we know that on its own that is not enough. Students who come to the school benefit from access to a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities including an academic enrichment programme, the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, musical scholarship awards, leadership opportunities, and a full sporting programme.
