Job overview
We are seeking highly organised and experienced administrators to play key roles supporting the entry admissions process for senior school and sixth form pupils at St. Edward’s.
We have two positions available in the Admissions Department: with one Admissions Officer managing the 16+ (Year 12) and 14+ (Year 10) entry admissions process and another managing the 13+ (Year 9) entry admissions process.
The Admissions Department is the first point of contact for all pupils looking to join the School and as a result the role of Admissions Officer is customer-focused, fast-paced, busy all year round and no two days are the same.

- Developing and maintaining relationships with feeder schools
- Managing arrangements for entrance examinations
- Representing the School at open days
To be considered for one of these roles, you will need previous experience in a senior administrative role, an excellent telephone manner and communication skills, as well as experience of working with databases. An eye for detail, the ability to work well as part of a team and a willingness to carry out a variety of tasks and to get involved in all aspects of school life is equally important.
In return, St. Edward’s can offer a variety of benefits including:
- A friendly and inclusive working environment
- Free meals
- Free Nuffield Health Gym membership (including membership for your partner and children under the age of 21)
- Free car parking
