About us

Worksop College and Ranby House; one community set across two schools - educating children from age two to eighteen. We're proud of being a broad-ability school with a focus firmly on progress, recognising that every child has their own set of skills and abilities, whether it be academic, sporting, musical or otherwise. We believe that education is about more than the flight towards academic success, but about human flourishing. We want our students to be the very best version of themselves. If they are destined to attend an established University, here is where they will flourish, or if they are an outstanding sportsperson, here is where they will hone their skills. Perhaps they are a talented artist or musician, here is where they’d perfect their craft, but if these talents are yet to be revealed, here is where they’ll be discovered. We are a remarkable school, in a stunning setting, with exceptional facilities and a talented teaching staff. At our school, what matters is the individual, their aspirations

The Role

Worksop College and Ranby House are independent day and boarding schools for pupils aged 2–18. We are seeking a proactive and organised Marketing Officer to join our successful Marketing team on a three-month fixed-term basis, providing sabbatical cover for the Head of Marketing.

The postholder will not be expected to lead on strategy or major campaigns but will play a vital role in ensuring communications remain clear, engaging, and aligned with the school’s ethos and values.

This is an excellent opportunity for a marketing professional looking to gain hands‑on experience in a busy, community-focused education environment.
