• Delivering engaging school tours, open events and taster sessions that showcase the school.
• Maintaining accurate admissions records and CRM systems.
• Monitoring admissions data, trends and conversion rates to support future planning.
• Building strong relationships with families, schools, nurseries and community partners.
• Supporting onboarding and transition arrangements for new students.
• Working closely with senior leaders to enhance community engagement and promote the school.

What you will bring

• Experience in admissions, recruitment, customer service, sales, community engagement or a similar people-focused role.
• A confident communicator who enjoys building relationships and delivering excellent customer experiences.
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities.
• Comfortable using CRM systems, databases and digital platforms.
