Job description

Teaching careers in HMC independent schools

Radley College are seeking to appoint an experienced Communications Manager.

With the launch of Radley Schools Group as of 1st September, a new position has been created in the Radley Communications Team. We are seeking to appoint an experienced Communications Manager to work with the Director of Admissions and Communications and the Head of Communications to deliver market leading audience-focused communications.

This is a particularly exciting time to join the team and an opportunity for a seasoned communications professional to develop and implement impactful communications strategies for Radley College and Radley Schools Group. The Communications Manager will be a senior member of the team, based at Radley College (situated between the city of Oxford and Abingdon) but working on projects for both the College and Group.

We are seeking a seasoned communications professional who has comparable experience in a values-led organisation. The successful candidate will be a strategic thinker who is happy to roll their sleeves up and get stuck into a wide range of communications projects.

We are keen to hear from candidates from a variety of professional backgrounds and recognise that not all candidates will have experience of school communications. However, if you believe you have the skills to be successful and have an empathy with the ethos of independent education then we would be delighted to receive an application from you.

We reserve the right to interview candidates as applications are received and if successful we may withdraw the advert prior to the closing date.

Candidates are welcome to arrange a preliminary conversation with Katharina Roelofsz, Head of Communications, prior to application. Please email [e-mail].
