Admissions Administrator

Summary of the role:

For many families, the Admissions Office is their first experience of Merchant Taylors’ school – and first experiences matter. As the first point of contact for prospective families, the Admissions Administrator plays a vital role in shaping that impression – brining warmth, professionalism and genuine enthusiasm to every interaction.

This is a varied and rewarding part-time role (two days per week, term-time plus four weeks in the school holidays), working within a close-knit team to support the smooth running of the admissions process from initial enquiry through to a boy joining the school.

Main duties and responsibilities:

• Processing registration forms and maintaining up-to-date admissions records within the school database
• Welcoming prospective families and students warmly at open events, examination days and interview visits – often the most important first impression a family receives
• Supporting the smooth running of entrance examination and interview days
• Responding to enquiries from prospective parents by phone and email with care and discretion
• Organising and coordinating school tours
• Communicating with prep and primary schools
• Attending school events, including some evenings and Saturdays
