As Admissions Officer, you'll be responsible for managing post-offer processes and compliance for Teach First's programmes, supporting successful onboarding and acting as a key trainee-facing contact post-offer.

This role is offered on a 0.6 FTE basis (three days per week). To support the existing job-share arrangement, the successful candidate will be expected to work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

• Do you have proven experience of excelling in a task-focused, process-driven environment, with a strong eye for detail?
• Do you have proven experience of exercising your own judgement, being analytical and objective, and providing sound rationale for decisions?
• Are you a proactive problem-solver, always solutions-focused in your approach?
• Are you confident in getting to grips with new systems quickly and efficiently, ideally experienced with Salesforce (including creating reports and dashboards)?
• Do you have exceptional relationship-building skills, able to leverage relationships effectively to secure desired outcomes?
• Are you an excellent communicator, verbally and in writing, adept at embracing difficult conversations as needed?
• Are you autonomous in planning and organising your own time, able to adapt to unexpected shifts in priorities quickly?
• Are you comfortable and confident in operating in an environment where change and uncertainty are common, able to shift focus and be agile and collaborative in your approach as needed?
