Admissions Officer

Yate Academy is looking for an Admissions Officer to lead on admissions for both Year 7 and Year 12 into our Sixth Form centre. 

We are proud members of the Greenshaw Learning Trust, a ‘family’ of like-minded schools, that collaborate to provide mutual support, share their good practice and learn from each other, whilst retaining and developing our own distinctive character. At Yate Academy we firmly believe in disruption free learning and in fostering an environment where all children are able to learn and all teachers are able to teach. We believe our students deserve the highest expectations and high quality teaching is central to everything we do. As such all staff have dedicated intellectual preparation time as part of their allocated contact time. This deliberately facilitates the sharing of knowledge, best practice and planning. 

We understand the pressures on school staff and the lack of flexible working options in many schools compared to other industries. The academy is currently undergoing a trial year in which every member of staff is allocated one afternoon every two weeks (pro rata) as flexible working time. If you are a diligent professional with high standards who values exceptional student behaviour and a workplace which truly prioritises learning, we want to hear from you.

Main responsibilities:

• To lead on admissions for all students into Year 7 and Year 12.

• Ensure school student enrolment is conducted strictly in accordance with the Schools policies and standards. 

• Be directly responsible for the entire admissions process end-to-end including but not limited to implementation of admissions strategy and events.

• Monitor emails regarding admissions and distribute as appropriate in an efficient and timely manner to ensure vital communication is maintained.

• Coordinate school tours/visits. 

• Liaise with parents on admission enquiries and school placement status. 

• Support and process student applications.

• Maintain a complete and accurate record of parent/student details into the school management system.

What’s in it for you:

• Professional development and career progression
• Generous pension scheme
• An Employee Assistance Programme
• Gym Discounts
• Free eye tests
• Cycle to work scheme
• Green car scheme
• Being part of a great team and expanding organisation

Closing date for receipt of applications is Wednesday 11th December 9am. We reserve the right to appoint before the closing date.

We are committed to building an inclusive, diverse workplace where everyone can thrive.
