Leigh Academies Trust has a fantastic opportunity to appoint a Central Admissions Officer. Our successful candidate will be pivotal to the smooth running of the admissions process by providing highly effective support to the academies allocated to them. Whilst previous experience of working in a school environment is desirable, this is not essential. In this pivotal position, you'll ensure a seamless admissions journey for two of our secondary academies in Rochester and Tonbridge.
We are looking for a motivated, enthusiastic team player, committed to providing excellent service on behalf of the Trust to the academy and above all else have a positive work ethic and can-do attitude.
Reporting directly to the Governance Professional, you will become a valued member of a dynamic team. This role serves as the primary point of contact for all admissions-related inquiries. A personable and professional demeanor is crucial in this customer-facing position, which necessitates close collaboration with various stakeholders, including Senior Leadership Teams, colleagues, the Local Authority, and parents. Furthermore, the Trust is committed to fostering professional development opportunities and encourages ongoing collaboration among team members throughout the academic year.
