ALP Schools are a growing chain of small independent schools catering to young people with special educational needs.

ALP Sittingbourne is Ofsted-registered for 40 learners, with small class sizes ranging from one-to-one tuition to classes of up to six learners.

We care for the well-being of our learners and our staff team. All employees are provided with a BUPA Cash Plan scheme, annual well-being initiatives, termly perks, annual appraisals, and support for CPD to encourage career progression.

We are excited to be recruiting a Receptionist/Administration Assistant to join our Learning Support Team at ALP Sittingbourne. As the first point of contact for the school, the successful candidate will be a welcoming, organised presence at the heart of our site, supporting both the smooth day-to-day running of the school and the wider work of our Senior Management Team. 

Alongside greeting visitors, managing sign-in procedures and fielding calls, the post holder will take on a varied administrative role including maintaining student information and files, managing petty cash and resource cards, coordinating stationery orders, updating the Admissions and Destinations register, and minute-taking at school meetings. The role also involves working closely with contractors on site walks and supporting communication with parents, including weekly lunch menus.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys variety in their working day and wants to make a genuine difference to young people with special educational needs, within a friendly and supportive team environment.
