Head of Outreach and Assistant to Marketing & Development

Haberdashers' Adams

We are a boy's school with co-educational Sixth Form. There are currently 1055 pupils on roll; approximately 100 of these are boarders. The Sixth Form has about 354 students of whom just over 90 are girls.

Our School Development Plan and School Strategy both refer to building numbers in the School and, in particular, broadening the socio-economic mix of our students so that we attract more local students and more students from disadvantaged backgrounds, including those entitled to the Pupil Premium. The post-holder will be mainly responsible for raising the profile of the School in the local area, by working to attract more disadvantaged students to the School. This role will be central to the School’s efforts to contribute to increasing social mobility and will involve liaising with and working alongside teachers and pupils in the additional 25 primary schools in the designated local area to create opportunities for inter-school collaboration, as well as organising the annual Summer School and meetings with key staff and parents. The post will also include outreach to local primary schools as part of our weekly mentoring programme for Sixth Formers.

The post-holder will also work closely with and provide assistance to both the Head of Marketing & International Recruitment and the Development and Alumni Manager.

It will be a fundamental requirement of the post to bring new ideas and initiatives to the school in terms of outreach to our community and the successful candidate must have a positive ‘can-do’ attitude to the role, as well as knowledge of current Pupil Premium legislation. The ability to work independently and be self-motivated is key. The hours will be flexible as there will be a degree of evening work in attending parents' evenings etc. at local schools, to represent Haberdashers' Adams, so will be based on a flexible working pattern of an average of 35 hours per week (a full day in school on a Wednesday will be fixed).

Salary will be subject to experience and qualifications.
