We are looking to appoint a motivated and proactive individual to join our Admin Team to manage and administer our school admissions for both new Year 7 intake and in-year transfers across the school. You will be responsible for ensuring that whole school admissions are carried out according to deadlines. Please read the job description for full details.

The ideal candidate will be able to work independently and as part of a team. The ability to prioritise workload is essential in what can be a demanding role. Efficient, clear and accurate communication, both in writing and orally with all stakeholders is required.

You will be required to work one week at the end of the summer break to ensure all new student data is correct ready for the start of term.

If you feel that you would be a great addition to our team, we look forward to hearing from you. Further information can be found in the detailed job description and person specification below.
