About this Role

The Head of Admissions will play a key role in supporting the school’s successes. This is an exceptional opportunity for a creative, confident and ambitious admissions professional to make a meaningful contribution in a role that offers genuine potential for both personal satisfaction and professional development.

Reporting directly to the Head, but with the benefit from the support of the wider Radley Schools Group, we are looking for an individual who is equally comfortable developing strategy and delivering it effectively. The role will suit someone who enjoys engaging and building rapport with prospective families while also articulating and sharing a compelling, strategically informed narrative about the school more widely amongst families locally, across the UK, and internationally.

The successful candidate will be a central figure in the life and future of the one of the UK’s leading prep schools. The Head of Admissions will thrive on defining clear, innovative strategy, delivering measurable impact and representing the school with warmth and confidence.

We will reward the successful candidate with a competitive salary and benefits package which includes 50% staff fee remission. This is a a full-time, permanent post that will attract 30 days’ leave per annum plus bank holidays (where these do not fall in term time). Employees of the school also benefit from lunch in the school’s Dining Hall. Further details will be made available on enquiry.

For an informal chat about the role, applicants are encouraged to contact Sophie Langdale, Director of Admissions & Communications (E: sll.langdale@radley.org.uk T: 01235 548570) or Sarah Ballard, HR Director (E: sballard@radleyschoolsgroup.org.uk T: 01235 543132). We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all backgrounds.
