BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION APPRENTICE – L3

(EXTERNAL RELATIONS – ADMISSIONS)

FULL TIME

35 hours per week

Required as soon as possible

This is an exciting time for the External Relations department. We have worked hard to create a consistently positive experience for students and their families before, during and after their time at Freemen’s. There is still more to do, and we are seeking a Level 3 Business Administration Apprentice who will play a key role in supporting our admissions team and contributing to the School’s wider strategic objectives.

No two days are the same: you can expect variety, new opportunities and the occasional challenge - all of which we face together, with good humour, mutual support and a genuine team spirit.

The successful candidate will thrive in a collaborative environment. While each of us has our own areas of responsibility, we pitch in and support one another whenever needed, working collectively to ensure the continued success and growth of the External Relations function. Any new team member can expect encouragement, guidance and support at every stage.

The successful candidate would need to be comfortable in a team atmosphere. While we all have our distinct areas of responsibility, we are not afraid to lend a hand as and when other members of the team require it, with everyone collaborating to ensure the success and growth of the wider External Relations function. However, any new member of the team can expect support at every level.
