Receptionist Maternity Cover

Job overview

Repton School Abu Dhabi is seeking a receptionist for a maternity cover role at our Rose Campus, starting in mid-January, for around 2 months.

About the role

The receptionist serves as the first point of contact for staff and parents, representing the welcoming face of the school. The successful candidate will provide secretarial, clerical, and administrative support to ensure that the Admissions Department and wider school operations run efficiently.
