  • Ensure service standards and quality assurance procedures are met and evolve with parent expectations and needs.
  • Guide the Senior Leadership Team to implement best practice processes to increase retention. This includes leading the customer insights programme, managing potential leaver files and participating in retention focussed student & parent events.
  • Working with the Group Marketing Department, support the production of relevant publications such as school calendars, newsletters, prospectus, academic results, university destinations, etc. to ensure information is conveyed clearly and concisely, positively promoting the attributes of the school at all touch points.
  • Whilst every effort has been made to explain the main duties and responsibilities of the post, each individual task undertaken may not be identified.
