About the Admissions Department
The Admissions Team is responsible for managing the admissions process for students joining the school in years 7-11 with input across the full admissions cycle from initial enquiries to student enrolment. Working with the Admissions Manager you will be the main point of contact for admissions queries. The role involves communication with parents/carers and other local stakeholders and requires a focus on fairness and compliance in line with the Admissions Code.
About You
We are looking for a flexible, highly effective, efficient and organised Admissions Officer to support our Admissions Manager with admissions processes for the Year 7 intake and In Year admissions for years 7 – 11.
Core responsibilities will focus primarily on overseeing the day‑to‑day processing of applications for both the main Year 7 intake and in‑year admissions, responding to enquiries via email and phone, and supporting Admissions events and operational activities. The successful candidate will be required to maintain accurate records, update and develop the Applicaa admissions system and the admissions section of the school website.
Previous work experience in admissions administration as well as working in a school environment is essential and applicants must demonstrate a good understanding of the concept of internal and external customer service. The ideal candidate will have excellent IT skills e.g. Excel and Word to an intermediate level. A Level 3 qualification is desirable but not essential. Knowledge of safeguarding requirements for working with children and good working knowledge of SIMS or other school systems would be a distinct advantage but not essential.
