Advert

The University of Kent Academies Trust is seeking a highly organised and proactive Admissions Manager to join Chatham Grammar. This role is responsible for managing student admissions for Years 7 to 13 ensuring all processes comply with statutory requirements and Trust policies. The postholder will coordinate and administer key academy events, including Open Evenings, transition activities, and Parents’ Evenings, acting as the main point of contact for parents, students, the Local Authority, and internal teams.

This is a permanent role for 37 hours per week, and whilst mostly term time, it requires the postholder to work two additional weeks during school holidays. One of these weeks is specifically allocated to August, to support GCSE results administration, as Sixth Form admissions are confirmed following exam outcomes.

The successful candidate will have experience in administrative roles, ideally within an educational setting, with strong organisational skills, the ability to manage multiple tasks efficiently, and excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Flexibility, initiative, attention to detail, and a commitment to safeguarding and the welfare of children and young people are essential. Competence in ICT, including MS Office and data management systems, is also required.

Applications must be submitted via My New Term

We are keen to attract top talent to our inclusive Trust, and therefore, we welcome applications from all people across the community spectrum regardless of their race, religion, ethnicity, sexuality, sexual orientation, disability, gender reassignment or age.

The University of Kent Academies Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

In addition, the Trust will carry out an online search once as part of our due diligence on shortlisted candidates. This is intended to help us identify any incidents or issues that have happened and are publicly available online. The selection panel will then explore such items with the candidate during interview. The Trust’s HR Team or another member of staff trained in safer recruitment will use Google.com to conduct each search, and no adverse judgement will be formed for applicants with limited or no online footprint.
