King Edward’s School, Bath, is seeking applications for its newly created Commercial Manager role. The Commercial Manager will be responsible for the development and implementation of an ambitious strategy to generate income from a range of commercial offerings.
We have a vision that the School’s estates are being utilised at all points of the year in a way which is respectful and complementary to the School’s needs and where the income generated contributes directly and materially to the School’s overall purpose - that through an outstanding all-round education, King Edward’s pupils acquire the tools and the confidence to flourish and be happy today and to be ready for whatever the future may hold.
The funds raised from the School’s commercial offerings will also directly contribute to our Bursary commitment to support children whose families are not able to meet the school fees. As we approach our 475th Anniversary we have an ambition to expand our Bursary Fund so that any child offered a place at the Senior School can attend regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.
The successful candidate will have a proven track record of developing and implementing an ambitious commercial strategy, operating at a senior level within an organisation and with experience of engaging with a wide range of stakeholders, including senior staff, governors, parents and external charities and businesses.
We recognise that this experience may be from sectors other than the education sector and would be delighted to receive applications from individuals which demonstrate the transferable nature of their skills and experiences to the education sector in general, and to King Edward’s School specifically
This position is a permanent full-time role, working 37 hours per week Monday to Friday, all year round. We would consider part-time applicants wishing to work 0.8 FTE or above. This position would be further enhanced by the School’s generous staff benefits package which includes school fee remission.

About King Edward’s School, Bath
Welcome
King Edward’s School was founded in 1552 and takes great pride in its long history as Bath’s oldest school. KES has held a special place in this wonderful city for well over four and a half centuries and is now firmly established as one of the leading schools in the South West of England.
As the city’s former grammar school, KES has a very healthy tradition of nurturing academic excellence and ambition, reflected these days in the School’s consistently outstanding results. Our pupils are bright, inquisitive, and aspirational, but they also have their feet firmly on the ground and understand that individual excellence shines most brightly in the service of the collective team effort.
“KES remains at the top of the academic pops in Bath and beyond.” The Good Schools Guide 2021
The ethos of the School is one that encourages all pupils to play as hard as they work and to make the most of all the wonderful opportunities here, both in and out of the classroom, that enable them to grow and thrive within a supportive and caring framework. We set the bar high, but we also give our pupils all the tools that they need to reach those ambitious standards. We aim to foster talent in all its forms and to open doors to enquiry and discovery. Independent-mindedness and creative spirit are strong suits, but so too is the sense of community that seeks to respect and value all its members.
“KES turns out young people who are not merely hard-working and well-educated, but compassionate and thoughtful to book.” The Good Schools Guide 2021
As a family of three schools, the Pre-Prep, Junior and Senior sections of King Edward's offer an inspiring and supportive environment for children age 3 to 18. Some join us just for the sixth form, many stay for their entire school career. All pupils are encouraged to be the best they can be and all are nurtured along the pathway to leading happy, fulfilled and successful lives at school and beyond.
