Job Overview
Brentwood Prep School is an academically selective HMC co-educational independent school with small class sizes and a happy, ambitious and supportive staff team. It is part of Brentwood School, a 3-18 HMC school of 1900 pupils, just 35 minutes from London Liverpool Street.
We are seeking a friendly, proactive Admissions Assistant to support our Admissions Manager in guiding families through their journey with the school. This new role offers variety and responsibility, from first enquiries to enrolment, helping to ensure a smooth and positive experience for all.
The successful candidate will enjoy a dynamic, term-time role involving clear communication, event coordination, and collaboration with staff, pupils, and parents. You'll be part of a supportive team that works closely with the Marketing & Communications team to deliver consistent, high-quality engagement.
With a strong community ethos and a forward-thinking approach, including our recent adoption of the IB Primary Years Programme, Brentwood Prep is an exciting place to work. This is a term-time role, 8:30am-4:30pm, Monday to Friday.
Brentwood School ethos
We embody our values of virtue, learning and manners just as those before us have been doing since 1557. We are proud of our modern inclusive community which is shaped by our Christian Foundation. At Brentwood we ask ‘how is this child intelligent?’ (rather than ‘how intelligent is this child?’) and believe that finding what it is that makes someone tick is the secret to a successful education and the platform for a fulfilled life. Our pupils are confident without being arrogant, they look out for each other, they do the right thing, even when no-one is looking and they respect difference.
We help our pupils to solve problems. In partnership with parents, we teach them to persevere after setbacks, adopt a growth mindset, and challenge the norm. We encourage them to ask questions in class and take control of their own learning. Of course, they work hard and enjoy great success in and out of the classroom, and once they’ve left us, many go on to use and develop their leadership skills and achieve beyond their expectations, always remembering what Brentwood has taught them.
That’s Who We Are. We Are Brentwood.
We are a highly supportive school that values the contributions made by a motivated and intellectually curious staff. Staff across both the Prep and Senior School enjoy a bespoke collaborative approach to professional development. We believe in being a research engaged school, with those that facilitate our in-house research programme being trained by the Institute of Education. We support many of our staff in obtaining external accreditation across a range of fields and are engaged with a number of national and international organisations. There are a range of ways that we enhance our staff experience; free gym membership, benefits hub, free lunch, free tickets to school concerts and performance to name but a few. Brentwood School has its own pay scale that is significantly above the maintained sector.
