Marketing Executive Registrar Required For Leading International Boarding School, East Sussex.
Job Title: International Marketing Executive / Registrar
(English speaker, with fluency in at least one other major language.)
Buckswood School, situated close to Hastings, East Sussex, is a prestigious international boarding school for boys and girls from the age of 10 to 19 years.
Buckswood’s 200 overseas boarders come from 40 different countries across the globe and it is the role of the International Sales and Marketing Department to promote the school and its values to educational agents and parents. This encompasses: mailing out marketing materials; telephone and email communication; representing the school at overseas educational fairs; and showing visitors around the school when they visit in person.
The Role:
As Marketing Executive, the role includes daily contact by telephone, email, post and in person, with educational agents and their clients, both proactively and in response to external enquiries. The Marketing Executive promotes the school, its facilities and its curriculum, with the aim being to sign up students to join as full-time boarders. As a key representative of the school, you will have the sort of personality that inspires confidence and assurance in parents and students.
The Registrar element of this position deals with the registration paperwork for new students and, in particular, supplying the supporting documents which allow non-EU students to apply for their study visas. Maintaining accurate records in compliance with UK Border Agency regulations is vital.
Additionally, the person in this position will be expected to be an able deputy to the Marketing and Communications Manager when he is away from the office and to assist him in the general running of the marketing process. This is a demanding role and is not suitable for anyone looking to wind down!
The Person:
A bright, confident self-starter, you will be able to think on your feet and will happily cope with whatever the day throws at you. As the representative of a boarding school, your personal presentation will be of a high standard and you will be comfortable dealing with people from all walks of life, both over the telephone and face-to-face.
Foreign travel is likely, so you need to be happy to attend fairs and presentations abroad and you must also be prepared to work a few weekends, for which days off in lieu are offered.
You will not be a clock-watcher and will be happy to put in the hours necessary to get the job done. Administration is an important part of the job, so an organised approach is essential.
Required Skills:
Essential: Fluency in one or more languages other than English
Boundless enthusiasm and energy
Excellent written and spoken communication skills
Good sense of humour and a warm personality
Nice To Have: Experience of database management
Basic knowledge of the UK GCSE/A Level system
Salary and Conditions:
The position offers an annual salary of circa £20,000 p.a. for the right person. Holiday, pension etc. to be agreed.
Working hours are 08.45 – 17.15 Monday to Friday.
