Join the vibrant team at The Brooksbank School as a Communications Manager and embark on a journey that is not only professionally fulfilling but also makes a significant impact on our educational community. Effective communication lies at the heart of a successful school, and as a member of our Communications Team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping this narrative at a key moment in our story.

Take pride in crafting a diverse range of top-notch communications materials from captivating videos to polished print materials, compelling social media content to carefully honed copywriting, and coordinating live events. This role promises to be creative and varied.

As a Communications Manager, you will have the opportunity to do more than ‘sell’ the school, making a lasting difference to the school’s culture and success. Your expertise will contribute to our strategic plans and help us showcase the profound impact that effective communication can have on our students, parents, and the entire school community.

We are seeking an experienced, versatile Communications Manager who can bring a broad skillset to the table and shape this new role. Organised and clear-thinking, you’ll be able to contribute to our communications strategy, lead projects and manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a busy environment. Strong writing skills for a variety of purposes and audiences are essential, as is strong design sense and attention to detail and quality. You’ll be confident and able to build strong productive relationships at all levels, from senior colleagues to student leaders, from journalists to contractors. Whilst an interest in working around young people is essential, your background might extend beyond the education sector, bringing a fresh perspective to our team.

Rest assured, you won't be embarking on this journey alone. You'll have the support of an experienced Communication Assistant and will be part of the skilled communication team working across Together Learning Trust schools including design and video talent. The school’s Senior Leadership Team holds the communications team in high regard, understanding the immense value it brings. Moreover, this role isn't confined to a desk. You'll have the privilege of interacting with students and teachers, making this position enriching and never dull.

If you're a proactive, relationship-building self-starter who thrives on creativity and variety, we want to hear from you. Become an integral part of The Brooksbank School's story, where your communication expertise creates lasting impact.

If our school sounds like a place in which you could really make a difference, then we’d love to show you around and tell you more about our wonderful school.
