Working Arrangements
This is a predominantly site-based role. As we continue to develop our Marketing team, we believe the best marketing comes from being immersed in the life of our Schools. Building relationships, discovering stories first-hand and maintaining a visible presence across our campuses are fundamental to success in this role. While occasional flexibility may be possible where appropriate, this is not a hybrid position.
