We are seeking to appoint a senior Marketing Professional into the newly created role of Cluster Marketing & Communications Manager supporting our three established secondary academies and one primary school in Bournemouth & Poole. These academies are; Avonbourne Boys’ & Girls’ Academies, Glenmoor & Winton Academies, The Cornerstone Academy and Avonwood Primary School. There is some marketing administrative support in place within the Cluster already and we are aiming to add more capacity to the Cluster by introducing this role to enable our existing Marketing colleagues to add even more value to the academies, which will ultimately further benefit the students and communities we serve.
The academies are part of United Learning, a large and growing group of schools aiming to offer a life-changing education to children and young people across England. We work as a team and achieve more, by sharing, than any single school could.
We are values-driven and our vision is to provide excellent education so that all young people are able to make a success of their lives. Our most important purpose is to teach young people things they would not learn outside school which empower them. Our mission is to bring out ‘the best in everyone’. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. We also believe in ‘Education with Character’ – we want young people to look back on a schooling that has inspired and challenged them, given them wide opportunity and prepared them for the ups and downs of life.
What we offer:
* 25 days annual leave in addition to bank holidays.
* One personal day every academic year.
* Access to the enhanced Local Government Pension Scheme – we contribute 23.6% each month on top of your contribution!
* Occupational sick pay, protecting you and your family.
* Access to our health care cash plan and rewards scheme after six months service.
* Over 250 employee exclusive benefits through our partners, Perkbox, including access to discounted cinema tickets, holidays and gym memberships, car leasing and Cycle2work schemes.
* Competitive maternity, paternity and adoption benefits.
* Continuous Professional Development options that will be tailored to your needs.
* Community spirit in each of our inclusive and welcoming academies.
* Talented, supportive and professional colleagues.
* Opportunities to collaborate with colleagues in our cluster of schools and Central Office.
* A very pleasant location in beautiful Dorset.
What we are looking for:
* Be an experienced and passionate marketing professional with a proven track record.
* Have a keen interest in working in a busy school environment.
* Have a flexible approach and be willing to develop and deliver successful marketing and communication tools, materials and processes across the Cluster.
* Be responsible for marketing pertaining to student recruitment including recording, communication and celebration of all activities and events across the Cluster.
* Oversee school websites, calendars, the production of school newsletters and marketing materials.
* Be events coordinator for the academies.
