External Relations and Communications Officer

The school is seeking to appoint a dynamic and creative external relations and communications officer to take responsibility for a wide range of activities involving communication with the school’s internal and external audiences. The key responsibilities of the post holder will include: sharing what life is like at the school through newsletters, social media and our website; managing relationships with current and potential funders and supportive partners including the preparation of funding reports; actively promoting and providing administration to our alumni community; writing and preparing school promotional materials; and supporting with press coverage and visits to the school.

The external relations officer will work closely with the Head Teacher in delivering their role and alongside the school’s highly collaborative team of teachers, leaders and administrators.

The successful candidate may be a recent graduate seeking their first post or a more experienced individual looking to deploy their experience in a part-time capacity. Most importantly, they will have the skills to perform the role and be able to show initiative, work independently and deliver results. A vital qualification will be that they share the vision of the school to help young people with a particular aptitude and enthusiasm for mathematics find challenge and excitement in a school that fosters intellectual growth and curiosity.

The post is 0.6FTE, three days a week. The part-time nature of the post means that days/hours of work will need to be arranged prior to appointment. The school can be flexible to meet the preferences of the right candidate.

The post will commence from March 2025, or earlier by arrangement.
