Communications & Admissions Manager

We have an exciting opportunity at Holy Cross College for a permanent Communications and Admissions Manager.

The department has well established track record of high-quality marketing and communications, resulting in many years of successful admissions. Alongside the full-time manager, there is an Admissions Officer (0.9 FTE), a Marketing Co-ordinator (1.0) and a small number of additional hours from the College Administration Team. 

Key events throughout the academic year provide a structure for the recruitment of students, with sensitive and clear communications with all stakeholders being at the heart of all of these processes. High school liaison talks and careers’ events take place throughout the first term of the academic year, coinciding with the opening of the application window. Applications are supported by well attended college Open Events in October. All applicants are interviewed during November, December and January, leading to offers in February, New Students’ Day in June and ultimately enrolment in August/September as the beginning of the next academic year. We also hold marketing events for high school students before they reach Year 11. 

Marketing of all college events both internally and externally is a crucial aspect of the department’s work, including the College website, on site screens, press and social media.

As a dynamic and creative leader of the College’s admissions and marketing function the successful candidate will build upon the current successes and bring new ideas and innovations to the team.
