ADMISSIONS OFFICER

37 hours per week – Term Time plus 6 weeks – 1 Year FTC

The Pocklington School Foundation is looking to appoint an exceptional Admissions Officer to join our established External Relations team. This is an exciting opportunity to undertake a key role in shaping the future of our successful co-educational and boarding School, situated 12 miles East of York. You will play a key part in delivering a welcoming, efficient and seamless admissions journey for prospective pupils and their families, supporting the Foundation’s ambitious Strategic Education Vision.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, self-motivated and warm individual with excellent interpersonal & diplomacy skills, who can communicate well with colleagues, parents, pupils and outside agencies. Experience of working within a school, educational setting or similar establishment will be an advantage but not essential, what matters most is the ability to deliver outstanding customer service and demonstrate strong administrative and organisational skills.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to make a meaningful contribution to school life in a supportive and collaborative working environment. You’ll be instrumental in driving admissions activity, increasing engagement and fostering strong relationships across our community.

Pocklington School is a wonderful place to work. We are a supportive, kind and caring team who strive to maintain a good balance between home and work life. We enjoy what we do and seek to support all those around us in their professional and personal development. We care for our employees, providing good food, refreshments and social activities for those who are interested.
