Alleyn's School is looking for a warm, welcoming Receptionist to be the friendly face of our school during the afternoon. You'll be the calm, organised presence at the heart of school life, welcoming visitors, supporting parents and pupils, and keeping things running smoothly.
The Receptionist brings both administrative confidence and a genuine warmth to a role that is as varied as it is rewarding.

- Strong communication skills and a warm, professional manner.
- A positive, flexible approach and a genuine commitment to delivering an excellent experience for everyone who visits or contacts the school.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
