School Admissions Coordinator Required for Senior School in St Albans
The Admissions Coordinator role is part of the Marketing, Admissions and Events team, and as such shares the responsibility for ensuring that the process by which children join the school is as effective as possible. You will have day to day contact with all those hoping to join the School, including prospective parents, students, and the Schools from which they come.
