We are a residential college occupying a former Cadbury family home, set in six acres of beautiful grounds in Selly Oak, Birmingham. We were originally founded to provide educational opportunities for some of the most disadvantaged and excluded members of society.

We are looking to appoint an Admissions Officer to provide responsive and customer-focused service for all student enquiries and applications. In the role, you’ll have a key focus on providing Information, Advice and Guidance to enhance the student experience and encourage progression.

To be considered for this role you will have experience of dealing with a range of people with different requirements in a customer-facing role and have great organisational and administrative experience. You’ll also have strong IT skills and communication and interpersonal skills.

The right person will be someone who enjoys working at a fast pace with a variety of different tasks, who is self-managed with a strong work ethic, who has a positive outlook and a ‘can do’ attitude and who is a completer/finisher.

If you meet the criteria above and would like to apply for this role, please press APPLY and we shall send you our application form.
