Hills Road Sixth Form College is a vibrant A level learning environment for over 2,900 students aged 16 to 19 years. The Admissions team look after applicants, their families and schools from Year 10 when we start delivering outreach activities, through the admissions process, to enrolment at the end of Year 11. It is our mission that every student we have contact with has a positive experience, regardless of whether they become a Hills Road student.

Ideally with admissions and/or outreach experience, you must enjoy working with people and want to make a positive contribution to our work. Admissions is a busy and exciting environment for which strong teamwork and a solution-based outlook are essential.

In any given week, you could be helping to organise a college transition day, contacting schools to offer outreach workshops, answering parent enquiries, liaising with the support team about a particular applicant, or working through student data on a huge spreadsheet! The role is extremely varied and there is a genuine opportunity to contribute your experience and ideas.

Over the past year, we have established the beginnings of what we envisage will be a multi-layered Outreach & Widening Participation Programme. Experience in this area, or similar (for example in a careers or enrichment role) would be helpful, but not essential. What is more important is an interest in and enthusiasm for extending opportunities to young people and understanding the possible barriers to their progress.

In return, we offer great team-work and a varied workload, an attractive salary, 24 days annual leave rising to 29 days after 5 years’ service, plus bank holidays, generous pension scheme, free use of our on-site sports centre, including a newly refurbished gymnasium, wellbeing activities, discounts on all our Adult Education courses, free onsite parking, cycle to work scheme and ongoing professional development. 

Whilst this role has typically been undertaken full time, we will consider applications from applicants who wish to work term-time only plus four weeks to cover the busy periods pre-offer and after the publication of GCSE results in August. Please let us know if this is of interest in your application. 

The successful applicant will need a full UK driving license as travel to schools across the region is part of the role, for which mileage expenses are paid. Preferably you will also have access to your own vehicle.

This role reports to the Head of Admissions. Hybrid working is possible, with a minimum of three-days per week required onsite.
