We are seeking to appoint an experienced Marketing & Admissions Manager who will be responsible for delivering effective and efficient admissions processes that support pupil recruitment and for marketing of the school to further enhance and strengthen the School’s reputation, pupil roll and profile.

The successful candidate will have a sound understanding of marketing and communications in an independent educational setting.  They will be able to develop and enhance the school brand, ensuring all communications and marketing activity reflects the school’s key marketing messages, vision and values. They will be adept at producing engaging and distinctive promotional materials and have experience of creating, maintaining and developing digital and social platforms.  Some support will be available from external agencies and the school community where appropriate.

A good understanding of the education sector and in particular independent schools is essential. Knowledge of applications such as PASS or MIS tools would be beneficial.    

The successful candidate will benefit from working alongside motivated and experienced colleagues and practitioners, alongside a supportive highly visible SLT team. They will benefit from being part of a professional, supportive staff team as well as a competitive salary package. This is an excellent opportunity to join our highly successful school which was rated as outstanding during our 2021 ISI inspection.
