International Admissions Officer (Part Time)

Worksop College and Ranby House; one community set across two schools - educating children from age two to eighteen. We're proud of being a broad-ability school with a focus firmly on progress, recognising that every child has their own set of skills and abilities, whether it be academic, sporting, musical or otherwise. We believe that education is about more than the flight towards academic success, but about human flourishing. We want our students to be the very best version of themselves. If they are destined to attend an established University, here is where they will flourish, or if they are an outstanding sportsperson, here is where they will hone their skills. Perhaps they are a talented artist or musician, here is where they’d perfect their craft, but if these talents are yet to be revealed, here is where they’ll be discovered. We are a remarkable school, in a stunning setting, with exceptional facilities and a talented teaching staff. At our school, what matters is the individual, their aspirations and their future.

This newly established role (Term-Time Only) is central to the strategic development of a diverse and sustainable international boarding community at Worksop College. The post-holder is an integral member of a small, fast-paced Admissions team, playing a key role in delivering a high-quality and personalised admissions experience for overseas families and international agents.

Reporting to the Director of Admissions, the role is responsible for managing the international admissions journey from initial enquiry through to offer and enrolment at the College. The post-holder will lead the development of international admissions activity, extending the College’s global reach and building strong, effective relationships with education consultants and agents worldwide.
