Job overview
Minerva Virtual Academy (MVA) is the UK’s fastest-growing online school, delivering transformative education to students aged 11–18 across the UK and globally. As we continue our ambitious expansion, MVA is on a mission to reimagine schooling for thousands of children underserved by traditional systems. Recognised by OFSTED and trusted by families and education stakeholders, MVA is leading the way in innovation and accessibility in online learning.
We are seeking an energetic and empathetic Admissions Advisor to join our fast-paced Growth team. This individual will play a key role in managing the full admissions journey, from initial enquiry to enrolment, ensuring that every prospective family experiences smart, joyful, and solution-oriented service. You’ll be the first point of contact for many families, helping them understand how MVA can meet their needs and positively transform their children’s educational journey.
This is an exciting opportunity for a confident communicator who thrives in a sales-oriented, mission-driven environment and is comfortable working remotely. You'll host Discovery Calls, represent MVA at virtual open events, collaborate on process improvements, and help meet or exceed recruitment targets. If you’re organised, tech-savvy, and driven by purpose, this role is your chance to make a lasting impact in the education sector.
Work Environment:
MVA offers a dynamic, rewarding, and exciting work environment unlike other schools or educational environments. The role presents a remarkable opportunity for the right candidate to be part of a fully remote team passionate about leading change in the education sector.
Join the Frontline of Growth: Drive Admissions at MVA
Are you a confident, results-driven communicator with a passion for education? We're looking for a high-energy, sales-savvy admissions professional to own and optimise the student journey—from first click to enrolment.
In this role, you will:
- Own the Funnel: Take charge of the full admissions pipeline, from initial enquiry to enrolled student, with a confident, proactive, and conversion-focused approach.
- Be the Face of MVA: Lead engaging Family Discovery Calls via Google Meet, showcasing the MVA experience and building trusted connections with prospective families.
- Sell with Heart: Deliver fast, joyful, empathetic service at every stage of the admissions process, turning curiosity into commitment.
- Pick Up the Phone & Close: Call inbound leads with enthusiasm and clarity, explaining how MVA transforms learning and solves real problems for modern families.
- Shine on Camera: Represent MVA at virtual Open Events and, as you grow, lead live Q&A sessions and admissions webinars with authority and authenticity.
- Innovate & Collaborate: Work closely with our leadership team to continually sharpen our processes, customer experience, and growth strategies.
- Hit (and Exceed) Your Targets: Partner with your Admissions teammates to smash recruitment goals and drive enrolment growth year-round.
- Think Smart, Work Smarter: Identify opportunities to streamline and automate our admissions systems using modern tools and AI-driven processes.
- Keep It Tight: Maintain our 'Inbox Zero' standard - because speed and clarity matter in every family interaction.
- Stay Organised, Stay Ahead: Accurately manage contact records in our School CRM, ensuring every detail supports the bigger picture.
Training on the above will be provided, though we are ideally looking for candidates who believe they can hit the ground running!

We are the perfect school for modern times - combining smart technology and engaging online resources with one-to-one support, active group learning and exciting multi-disciplinary projects.
We offer pupils the flexibility to learn from the comfort of their home, anywhere in the world, while ensuring they develop the social skills required to live fulfilling lives and succeed in the workplaces of the future.
The skills we champion are self-sufficiency, collaboration, problem-solving, creative and critical thinking, leadership, and mindfulness.
We operate term dates broadly in line with those in the independent school sector.
Our curriculum for Years 7 and 8 takes advantage of Key Stage 3's flexibility. Alongside the foundational curriculum, students encounter a diverse array of topics. The key stage 3 curriculum combines the Inner core subjects of English, Maths, and Science (Cambridge Lower Secondary) and the outer core is made up of History, French, German, Spanish, Global Perspectives, Digital Literacy, PSHE, Classical Civilisation, Computing, Music and Art & Design.
Pupils commonly study between 5 and 9 subjects in Years 9-11 and 3 - 4 subjects in Years 12-13. These include a combination of the core subjects: Maths, English Language, English Literature, Biology, Chemistry and Physics - and electives: Geography, History, Business Studies, Psychology, Global Citizenship, Computer Science, French, Spanish, Art and Music. All of our courses (with the exception of Psychology, Art and Music) are IGCSEs awarded by either Cambridge or Pearson Edexcel.
How Pupils Learn
Minerva Virtual Academy is underpinned by ‘four pillars’. These are: a virtual learning platform, live lessons, mentoring and community. As part of this offer, all pupils receive weekly one-to-one mentoring sessions and, through the virtual learning platform, can communicate with their mentors at any time. Community plays a key role at Minerva Virtual Academy. Pupils attend weekly assemblies and can participate in a wide range of after-school clubs.
The curriculum at Minerva Virtual Academy is delivered through a ‘flipped learning’ model. This involves pupils undertaking interactive self-study on the virtual learning platform before attending live lessons.
Alongside the taught curriculum, pupils participate in an extensive well-being programme. Designed to support pupils’ personal and academic growth, wellbeing sessions help pupils manage their own health, relationships, emotional intelligence and communication skills.
