We are a welcoming school with a warm sense of community. Visitors are impressed by our facilities within a beautiful setting and the ambition of our educational provision, but most of all they are delighted by the girls who are truly special.

We are seeking a part-time Admissions Assistant who will be part of a team of three staff, including the Director of Admissions, who has responsibility for managing the team.

This is a role that requires working throughout the year i.e. it is not a term time only position. There will be a requirement to work some evenings or weekends to support School and Admission related events for which time off will be given in lieu.

The salary for this role will be between £16,000 - 20,500 per annum depending on the hours agreed. The successful candidate will be auto-enrolled into the The Pensions Trust pension scheme if eligible.
