• Opportunity to join a growing organisation with clear expansion plans
• Real influence over referrals, placements, and occupancy performance
• Long-term progression as the organisation scales and evolves
• Involvement in new school openings and growth initiatives

Your responsibilities as Admissions Officer/Manager

• Build and maintain strong referral pipelines with Local Authorities and commissioners
• Work closely with schools and stakeholders to secure appropriate, timely placements
