The National Institute of Teaching (NIoT) is a school-led development trust that spotlights the best ways to develop the nation’s educators - from initial teacher training, through to system leadership. This is an exciting time to join the team and to be part of a fast-growing, developing organisation.

Due to our rapid growth, we are looking for an organised and proactive ITE Admissions Coordinator to support with the coordination of our admissions which will include responding to expressions of interest and converting these to applications, screening applications and managing aspects of interview coordination and administration.

This is a hybrid working role. A significant proportion of the work will take place on campus, however there will be opportunities for flexible working and working from home. This role will support activity across the two South and West NIoT campuses (Oasis Academy Woodview, Birmingham and The Greenway Centre, Bristol) but will primarily be linked to one site. Applicants should live within a commutable distance to one of these campuses.
