Introduction

Hill House seeks an enthusiastic, well qualified and committed person to deliver an exceptional front-of-house experience to maintain our brand standards and reputation as a leading independent school. The successful candidate will have previous experience working in a customer facing role.

The School

Hill House is the leading co-educational, independent school in the area, situated on the borders of South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. It is an exciting and expanding school of some 895 children from age 3 to 18, where teachers can teach and children can learn. The school was founded in 1912 and occupies a splendid location between Bawtry and Doncaster. The school is a member of HMC.

The school has a stunning site, harmonising the history of an outstanding campus with new, purposely designed 21st century facilities. A recent multi-million pound development project has seen the building of a new Sixth Form Centre, Sports Grounds and Dining Hall. In November 2024, a new £3 million building was completed with Music and Art Schools, a Fitness Centre and a number of classrooms.

Academic results are the best in the area, with 42% of GCSEs being awarded grades 9 to 7 this year, and also 50% of A levels also being graded at A*/A. They compete very favourably with other independent schools; expectations are rightly high, and we are ambitious for our children. The school was graded as “excellent” by the Independent Schools Inspectorate in 2022. The Senior School was named Independent Secondary School of the Year for 2025 by the Sunday Times.

The school is in a thriving and historic area with excellent communication links, around 90 minutes by train from London. The culture, facilities and shops of York, Leeds, Harrogate, Nottingham and Sheffield are all within easy reach, as is the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales, Moors and the Peak District. The school is surrounded by many beautiful villages in the countryside, and property prices are very reasonable indeed.

The Position

This is an exciting opportunity for a receptionist with high standards and expectations. It gives the successful candidate the chance to join a thriving school.

Hill House provides a Company Pension Scheme and Westfield Health cover.

Salaries are above the state sector, and this post commands an attractive remuneration package, including reasonable relocation expenses where appropriate.
