How To Become A School Receptionist

At Aspire People we place many receptionists into Primary, Secondary and SEN schools throughout the Midlands.
We are passionate about working with schools and speak to people daily who are eager to pursue a career within education.  However, most people may not be sure where to start so we have answered some of your questions.

What Do I Need to Become a Receptionist?

  • Good customer service skills: Your day will involve lots of communication between staff in the school and people outside of the school such as parents. You will have to talk over the phone and face to face to others therefore you must be friendly, approachable and patient to
    communicate well.

  • Previous experience: Having previous experience in a receptionist role would be beneficial however on-the-job training can help to give you more skills within this role.

  • Good organisational skills: As a receptionist you will have to ensure you can be organised and help to control issues that may arise within the office.
