School Admissions Assistant | Fixed Term Contract | Burgess Hill | Full-Time
A welcoming and well-organised school in Burgess Hill is looking for a proactive and personable Admissions Assistant to join their administrative team. This role is central to ensuring a smooth and positive experience for prospective families, from first enquiry through to enrolment. You will be the first point of contact for many parents, so warmth, clarity, and professionalism are key.

Working closely with the Admissions Officer and wider school office, you will help manage applications, maintain accurate records, coordinate school tours, and support communication with families. It is a varied role that suits someone who enjoys a blend of administrative work and people-focused tasks.

Key Responsibilities:
- Supporting the admissions process from initial enquiry to student enrolment.
- Managing and updating admissions data and documentation.
- Communicating with prospective parents via phone, email, and in person.
- Assisting with school tours, open events, and transition activities.
- Ensuring compliance with school and local authority procedures.

What We Are Looking For:
You will thrive in this role if you are organised, confident with systems, and comfortable juggling multiple tasks. Strong communication skills, attention to detail, and a friendly, approachable manner are essential. Experience in a school environment is helpful but not essential. What matters most is a positive attitude and a commitment to excellent service.

If you’re ready to explore your next opportunity, we’d love to hear from you.
