The Role

We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly organised Programme Coordinator to provide vital administrative and logistical support to our Inspire and Aspire teams. This diverse role involves coordinating a wide range of enrichment activities for students, including guest speaker events, mentoring, trips, work experience, and super-curricular competitions. You will also support school liaison programmes, track student engagement across various initiatives, and help build our alumni network.

Part of the role involves developing marketing materials and supporting communications for staff, students, and parents, in collaboration with the Executive Office. The position also includes occasional evening work for careers and outreach events, with flexible working arrangements or TOIL available. This is an exciting opportunity to play a central role in enhancing opportunities for our students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
