Bournemouth Collegiate School is looking for a creative, enthusiastic and digitally confident Content Assistant to join our team and help tell the story of our vibrant school community.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with a passion for content creation, photography, social media and storytelling to gain experience in a dynamic school environment. The role would suit an individual looking for flexible or part-time work, and there may also be an opportunity to combine the role with a boarding position, providing the potential for a broader role within school life. The role offers flexibility and could be particularly well suited to someone looking for work that can fit around their studies or other commitments.
