Epsom College, an independent co-educational day and boarding school on the edge of Epsom Downs is looking to recruit a Head of Marketing and Communications. The College has grown significantly in the past seven years, with pupil numbers rising 40% as the result of the opening of our Lower School in 2016, and growth throughout the rest of the College. We admit pupils into Years 7, 9, and 12, and each year around 220 new children join our community, with an average of five pupils applying for every space.
Epsom is a happy school. Almost all our pupils remain with us for their A-levels, and staff retention is equally strong. Around 60% of staff live onsite, which lends the College a real sense of community and togetherness.
The Head of Marketing & Communications will be responsible for delivering the school's strategic marketing and communications activities across all departments, working to enhance the College’s visibility both locally and internationally. The ideal candidate will be an experienced and visionary marketing professional, with a strong understanding of the independent school sector and an ability to draw on the best marketing practices from a range of sectors.
The post-holder will have both operational and strategic responsibilities. They will work closely with the Director of Marketing & Communications and the Admissions team, driving pupil recruitment and managing the school's brand identity. They will also support the College’s commercial activities – including international school and commercial lettings and events.
