Job overview
Founded in 2015, Le Régent (regentschool.ch/) is a rapidly growing Swiss boarding and day school with an international academic programme. Students from Switzerland and around the world are educated in a modern campus in the heart of the Valais Alps in the attractive and lively ski resort of Crans-Montana. Since 2019, Le Régent has been under the guidance of Institut Le Rosey - of which it is now officially a “sister school” (www.rosey.ch).
Le Régent follows a rigorous academic programme in English in preparation for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and for its own diploma, the Régent Graduation Diploma. This is supplemented by a diverse extracurricular offering, including sports, arts, music and outdoor mountain activities and expeditions.
Le Régent has more than doubled in size over the last three years to its current total of 225 and this looks set to continue. The school is already selective, and a significant oversubscription within two years is a distinct possibility. The role of Associate Director of Admissions is therefore a key position.
Reporting to the Director-General, the Associate Director Admissions (AAD) may occasionally travel but the post is fundamentally campus based (in contrast to the Director Admissions whose role is essentially overseas promotion and recruitment).
RECRUITMENT PROCEDURES
The appointment will take effect from September 2022 although we would welcome applications from candidates able to take up the post in July or August 2022.
Applicants should address a letter of application and a CV/résumé through the job posting on the TES website. Candidates should note that following Brexit, preference will be given to those possessing a Swiss residence permit or an EU/EFTA passport.
Le Régent is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Applicants will therefore need to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post.
