A-Team Academy
This is not a passive reception role.
This is a high-responsibility weekend role combining front-of-house reception, admissions support, client relationship management, and end-of-day facilities upkeep.
You will be the face and operational anchor of A-Team Academy at weekends. You will ensure that the academy continues to run professionally, smoothly, and to a high standard.
This role is critical in protecting client experience, capturing admissions opportunities, and ensuring the physical environment is maintained to an excellent standard at all times.
The Role
You will be responsible for managing weekend operations across four key areas:
1. Front Desk & Reception

- Handling calls, messages, and walk-ins professionally
- Ensuring all enquiries are acknowledged and recorded
- Maintaining a calm, organised reception environment
2. Admissions Support
- Capturing and logging all incoming enquiries
- Conducting basic qualification of leads using set criteria
- Forwarding qualified leads to the Admissions & Enrolment Executive
- Ensuring no enquiries are missed, delayed, or lost
- Supporting consultation booking where required
3. Client Relations (Weekend Coverage)
- Maintaining communication with existing parents and clients
- Handling general queries with professionalism and care
- Identifying issues and escalating urgent matters appropriately
- Ensuring continuity of service when leadership is not on-site
- Providing reassurance and clear communication to parents
4. Facilities, Cleaning & End-of-Day Standards
- Ensuring all teaching, reception, and communal areas are tidy and presentable
- Resetting rooms after sessions (chairs, desks, equipment, materials)
- Conducting a final end-of-day walkthrough checklist
- Ensuring the academy is left in a professional, clean, and ready state for the next operating day
What Success Looks Like
Success in this role is defined by consistency, ownership, and attention to detail.
You will succeed if:
- All weekend enquiries are responded to promptly and accurately
