We are proud to be a broad ability school, educating children from 2-18. With a focus firmly on progress, we recognise that every child has their own set of skills and abilities, whether it be academic, sporting, musical or otherwise. We believe that education is about more than the flight towards academic success, but about human flourishing. We want our students to be the very best version of themselves. If they are destined to attend an established University, here is where they will flourish. If they are an outstanding sportsperson, here is where they will hone their skills. Perhaps they are a talented artist or musician, here is where they’d perfect their craft, but if these talents are yet to be revealed, here is where they’ll be discovered. We are a remarkable school, in a stunning setting, with exceptional facilities and a talented teaching staff. At Worksop College, what matters is the individual, their aspirations and their future.Job DescriptionSupport the Admissions function of Worksop College and Ranby House – working with the Admissions & Events Officer to achieve recruitment and retention targets whilst ensuring that the recruitment of new pupils is undertaken in a professional and customer-focused manner throughout the entire process.Key Areas of ResponsibilityCore - Admissions
