You will support the admissions department with managing initial enquiries from prospective parents and pupils, in addition to organising events and open days to market and promote the school, as well as record keeping and managing the data of pupils.

You will also manage arrangements for entrance examinations, draft offer letters and maintain accurate records of acceptance, rejections and waiting lists, and provide day to day administrative support in the Registrar’s office.

Training will be provided to maintain admissions data using the iSAMS database.

You will need previous experience in a senior administrative role with excellent organisational skills and the ability to multi-task as well as experience of admissions in an independent school.

You will also need to be an outstanding communicator with excellent spoken and written English and the ability to write correspondence to prospective parents and will need an excellent telephone manner and the ability to deal with callers and visitors in a calm and courteous way.
