Radley College, is excited to announce the expansion of our Admissions Department. Following news of our merger with Prep Schools Trust and with the Director of Admissions and Communications taking a more strategic group-wide role in the newly formed Radley Schools Group, we are seeking both an exceptional Registrar and an Admissions Manager to join the new Head of Admissions and her dynamic team.

Radley College is an exceptional school, attracting a significantly higher number of enquiries than there are places available. The Admissions Department plays a pivotal role in managing this high volume of interest with efficiency, professionalism, and a personal touch. It is essential that every prospective student and their family receive a warm and well-informed introduction to the College, leaving them with a lasting positive impression.

The Admissions Manager plays a critical role in the admissions process, supporting the Head of Admissions and Registrar in managing all aspects of student intake and related administrative tasks. We are looking for an enthusiastic, committed and experienced individual to help us deliver an outstanding admissions experience.

The successful candidate will have experience managing databases, planning and delivering logistics, and working collaboratively within a busy team. They must demonstrate strong organisational and administrative skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and meet tight deadlines.

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential, along with a practical, positive attitude and a strong team ethic.

Knowledge of the UK independent education sector, including safeguarding responsibilities and international student visa and compliance processes, is essential.

The ideal candidate will be professional, warm, and approachable, with high emotional intelligence, tact, and diplomacy. They should be self-motivated, capable of working independently under pressure, and committed to the ethos and values of the school. A flexible, collaborative approach and willingness to work outside normal hours, including evenings and weekends for school events, is also required.

This is an exciting opportunity and early application is encouraged. We reserve the right to interview candidates as applications are received and if successful we may withdraw the advert prior to the closing date.
