Admissions Assistant

We are seeking to appoint an Admissions Assistant on a full-time, term-time only basis, working 36.25 hours per week, with a salary on Points 10 - 11 of the Support Staff Salary Spine, currently £26,666 - £27,532 FTE / £22,836 - £23,680 actual pro-rata per annum.

The team has a well-established track record of high-quality marketing and communications, resulting in many years of successful admissions. Working alongside the full-time Communications and Admissions Manager, the Admissions Assistant is pivotal in the smooth running of all admissions’ processes and events. In a similar way, the Marketing Co-ordinator works with the manager on all marketing matters. There are also a small number of additional hours from the College Administration Team feeding into the team on a weekly basis. Key events throughout the academic year provide a structure for the recruitment of students, with sensitive and clear communications with all stakeholders, including prospective and current students, parents/carers and colleagues in partner high schools being at the heart of all of these processes. 

High school liaison talks and careers’ events take place throughout the first term of the academic year, coinciding with the opening of the application window. Applications are supported by well attended college Open Events in October. All applicants are interviewed during November, December and January, leading to offers in February, New Students’ Day in June and ultimately enrolment in August/September at the beginning of the next academic year. We also hold marketing events for high school students before they reach Year 11. Marketing of all college events both internally and externally is a crucial aspect of the team’s work, including the College website, on-site screens, press and social media. This work is unpinned by highly effective and efficient admissions processes and communications, supported by the College’s bespoke, in-house Information Systems. As an essential part of a creative and well organised team, the successful candidate will build upon the current successes and bring new ideas and ways of working to the role.
