Marketing and Admissions Officer

Do you have a creative flair for marketing coupled with a passion for education? Rishworth School are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and dynamic Marketing and Admissions Officer.

The ideal candidate will be joining Rishworth at a particularly exciting time, as we are fast approaching our tri-centennial celebrations in 2024 and have ambitious plans.

Rishworth School is a co-educational day and boarding school for students aged from 3 through to 18, occupying magnificent buildings in 140 acres of glorious Yorkshire countryside.

Our motto is ‘Res Non Verba’ (Deeds Not Words) and this is very much reflected in our work culture. This is an opportunity to be part of a close knit and vibrant school community, where proud tradition meets exciting innovation.

This is a varied and exciting role that uses multi-channel marketing techniques to promote Rishworth School to students, staff, parents, alumni, and external partners world-wide.

The Marketing and Admissions Officer is responsible for contributing to the delivery of internal and external marketing and communication across the School. This will involve:
• Producing engaging marketing materials for social media, website, email and print

• Advert and newsletter creation
• Design, photography, and video creation
• Administration and database management
• Organising and attending school events
• Student and alumni engagement

You would be joining an energetic and friendly staff, dedicated to ensuring all children fulfil their potential. A willingness to participate in the wider life of the School is essential. The role offers a competitive salary and benefits package.
