Dulwich Prep London is the most exciting and stimulating place to work. With around 850 pupils, it is the largest boys’ prep school in the UK and is situated in one of the most beautiful parts of the most cosmopolitan city in the world. The School’s strength is its community: our staff who are professional, passionate and brilliantly collegiate (CPD is extremely important); our pupils who are inquisitive, challenging learners with a spring in their step, and our parents who are hugely supportive, appreciative and ambitious.

We are looking to recruit an organised and welcoming individual with a professional demeanour to provide first class customer service at the School’s main reception in conjunction with the Lead School Receptionist, carrying out day-to-day administration duties each morning and, if necessary, managing the Reception in the absence of the Lead School Receptionist.

The successful applicant will also have a good understanding of the importance of Child Protection and Safeguarding issues when working in a school reception and will be willing to undertake ad-hoc jobs as needed.
