Head of Marketing & Admissions | Independent School

Head of Admissions and Marketing

Independent Prep School | London | £45,000 to £55,000

Some schools are big, polished and a little impersonal. This one is not. It is a brilliant, unique prep school with a genuine small family feel, tucked away in one of the most exciting and characterful parts of London, and it is looking for someone who can tell its story and turn it into full classrooms.

This is a role for a commercially minded marketer who loves the moment a family decides to say yes. Choosing a school is one of the biggest decisions a parent will ever make, and you will be the person who guides them through it. You will shape every step of that journey, from the first enquiry to the tour, the follow up and the offer, so that every family feels welcomed, understood and quietly certain that this is the right place for their child. If you can build trust quickly, read a room, and persuade with warmth and substance rather than pressure, you will thrive here.

You will own the strategy that brings families to the door and the experience that converts them once they arrive. That means building a three year marketing plan, sharpening the school's brand and story, running campaigns across digital, print and partnerships, and tracking what works so you can do more of it. You will also build relationships with nurseries, feeder schools, corporate employers, relocation companies and international agents, and represent the school in the community and at events.

Because this is a small and close knit school, you will not be tucked away in a corner of the office. You will be on site every day, part of the heart of the community, and encouraged to lean in and get involved well beyond the job description. If you enjoy roles where you can wear many hats, make things happen quickly and see the direct impact of your work, you will love it.

You will probably bring

• Significant marketing experience, ideally from an independent school or a professional services setting
• A track record of delivering strategic plans with results you can measure
• Experience of managing admissions or a similar customer journey, and a real feel for what parents want
• Excellent communication skills, high emotional intelligence and the ability to influence at senior level

If you want a role with real influence, a warm and ambitious community, we would love to hear from you.
