Business Development and Lettings Manager

Emanuel School is seeking an energetic self-starter to appoint to the role of Business Development and Lettings Manager.

As the Business Development and Lettings Manager, you will be responsible for all external revenue generation at Emanuel School. Although the school already has substantial income generation streams, producing nearly £300,000 in 2022/23, we know we can do better, so we would expect you to identify and build on additional income streams.

You will further develop and maintain a profitable commercial lettings business year-round, ensuring the effective marketing, costing, planning, and management of lettings. You will take ownership of the lettings budget and financial forecast and will actively seek out opportunities to showcase Emanuel's exceptional facilities to clients and the public.

You will be a hard-working and motivated individual, equipped with previous experience in business development. While experience in the education sector is preferred, it is not essential as long as you possess a willingness to learn. You will be self-motivated and capable of working independently without close supervision. You will possess additional experience of developing and maintaining excellent internal and external relationships, utilising an excellent set of written and verbal communication skills to achieve this.

Working at Emanuel

There is a genuine buzz at the school. Colleagues enjoy their work and, like the pupils, are ambitious for the school.

Everyone works hard here, and anyone joining the school should expect to do so. There’s a strong sense of community and source of friendship. From the briefing to all staff, to the half termly staff meetings, termly consultative group meetings and a common room committee, there’s ongoing dialogue about the school’s aims.

We aim to look after our staff too. We have an appraisal scheme with a focus on the employee’s professional development; we sponsor postgraduate courses and a range of training opportunities; we offer a healthcare plan via Simply Health that includes counselling and medical support; and we’re committed to supporting staff wellbeing. On a more practical level, all staff benefit from good pension provision and free lunches.
