Receptionist - Maternity Cover

Repton School Abu Dhabi is seeking a Receptionist for a Maternity Cover role at our Rose Campus, starting in mid-January.

This is a short-term cover position, and therefore we can only consider candidates who are on their own visa or sponsor’s visa and have existing medical insurance, as these will not be provided by the school.

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.
