Job Description

We have an exciting opportunity for an organised, proactive and enthusiastic individual with strong interpersonal and communication skills for the position of International Admissions Manager. In this role you will be responsible for the smooth running of the admissions process for international students into the international schools, from initial enquiries through to registration and eventual enrolment.

You will have excellent verbal and written communication skills; be capable of managing and delegating a high volume of varied activities accurately and with attention to detail; enjoy developing professional and effective working relationships; and possess well-developed organisational skills.

The successful candidate will enjoy working in a busy and changing environment, and be a calm and organised people person. You will have excellent administrative, communication and customer service skills to provide all prospective students and associated stakeholders with a positive experience of the school.

Previous experience of an educational admissions process, whilst not essential, would be an advantage.

We aspire to deliver exceptional every day, whilst creating a welcoming and supportive environment where individuals can thrive, find their exceptional, and be celebrated. Our 3 cornerstone values are Humility, Engagement and Kindness. If this sounds like a cultural fit for you, and you meet the job requirements, we would love to hear from you.

SAFEGUARDING

Taunton School operates in a regulated sector and adheres to the Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) statutory guidance. We are committed to working together to safeguard children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

If you are shortlisted for interview the HR team may carry out an online search via Google to check presence and activity, as part of the School's due diligence. As a regulated sector we are required to request references prior to interview unless your permission is not granted.

Offers of employment are subject to satisfactory safeguarding and pre-employment checks as part of the School's due diligence, in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education. These include, but are not limited to, ID and Right to Work in the UK, satisfactory references, a successful enhanced DBS check, and satisfactory online searches.

This job is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and subsequent amendments.
