Salary from £26,343 to £26,818 per annum

Do you like working with a wide range of people, have excellent interpersonal skills, are extremely well organised and love the idea of a varied role where you can directly impact student experience? If your answer is yes, then this could be the ideal position for you. We are looking for a full-time Admissions and Outreach Coordinator to join our Admissions team.
Hills Road Sixth Form College is a vibrant A level learning environment for over 2,900 students aged 16 to 19 years. The Admissions team look after applicants, their families and schools from Year 10 when we start delivering outreach activities, through the admissions process, to enrolment at the end of Year 11. It is our mission that every student we have contact with has a positive experience, regardless of whether they become a Hills Road student.
Ideally with admissions and/or outreach experience, you must enjoy working with people and want to make a positive contribution to our work. Admissions is a busy and exciting environment for which strong teamwork and a solution-based outlook are essential.
In any given week, you could be helping to organise a college transition day, contacting schools to offer outreach workshops, answering parent enquiries, liaising with the support team about a particular applicant, or working through student data to support the next stage in the applicant journey. The role is extremely varied, and there is a genuine opportunity to contribute your experience and ideas.
We have established the foundations of a growing Outreach and Widening Participation Programme, which we are keen to develop further. Experience in this area, or in a related role such as careers, enrichment, or student engagement, would be beneficial but is not essential. More important is a genuine interest in extending opportunities for young people, an understanding of the potential barriers they may face, and enthusiasm for helping to shape and grow this area of the College’s work.
In return, we offer great team-work and a varied workload, an attractive salary, 24 days annual leave rising to 27 days after 5 years’ service, plus bank holidays, generous pension scheme, free use of our on-site sports centre, including a newly refurbished gymnasium, wellbeing activities, discounts on all our Adult Education courses, free onsite parking, cycle to work scheme and ongoing professional development.
The successful applicant will need a full UK driving license, as travel to schools across the region is part of the role, for which mileage expenses are paid. Preferably, you will also have access to your own vehicle.
This role reports to the Head of Admissions. Hybrid working is possible, with a minimum of three-days per week required onsite.
Closing date: Monday 6 July at 9.00am
Interviews: Tuesday 14 July 2026 – please note that interviewed candidates may be required for a full day on site.
The college is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of its students and staff and expects all members of the college community, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment. The college actively promotes equality and diversity and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.
