An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the executive team at John Lyon School.  We are seeking a Marketing & Communications Officer on a permanent basis to provide a high-quality service to the Director of Marketing and Communications and the School. This is an exciting time to join the School, as we have recently merged with Quainton Hall prep school and have become co-educational this academic year.

They will have excellent IT skills and be capable of prioritising their workload to deliver the highest quality products against challenging deadlines, whilst remaining calm and approachable under pressure.

For the right candidate, there may be some flexibility over whether this role is carried out on a year-round or ‘term-time only plus’ basis, as well as around the weekly working hours.  Nevertheless, we will also require a flexible approach to working hours from the post holder (for example in support of School events outside of normal School hours), and there may also be a requirement to occasionally undertake work at the prep school site.

Salary: £27,000 – £32,000 p.a. depending on skills and experience, and annual working pattern

Hours: 40 hours per week, 36 weeks p.a. (term time plus 2 weeks) to year-round
