  38,000- 50,000 per annum (depending on experience)
  Start Date: As Soon As Possible

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a talented and energetic Marketing Manager to join a highly successful, historic independent boarding preparatory school in the Windsor area.

Set within stunning grounds and with exceptional facilities, the school is entering an important new stage in its development. With a strong reputation and a distinctive character, it is seeking a creative and strategic marketing professional who will serve as its storyteller, capturing, shaping and sharing the daily life, spirit and ambition of a thriving boarding community.

The Role

Reporting to the Director of Admissions and Marketing and working closely with the Headmaster and Leadership Team, you will lead the delivery of the school's marketing and communications plans.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role combining strategic thinking with confident day-to-day execution. You will play a central part in strengthening pupil recruitment, enhancing parent engagement and advancing the school's brand positioning within the independent sector.

As the School's Storyteller, you will:

• Produce and direct compelling visual content that captures the rhythm and character of school life
• Lead photography and videography across academic, pastoral and co-curricular activity
• Curate and manage engaging social media content across key platforms
• Oversee the creation of high-quality digital and print publications, including prospectuses, newsletters and annual reviews
• Support the ongoing development of the school website, with awareness of SEO, user journeys and content planning
• Monitor and evaluate marketing performance using data and insight to inform strategy
• Act as guardian of brand consistency across all communications
• Build and maintain a rich media library of photography, film and creative assets

You will also contribute to event planning and delivery, including Open Mornings and key admissions events, ensuring each touchpoint reflects the warmth, professionalism and individuality of the school.

This role includes occasional evening and weekend commitments to capture and celebrate the life of a leading UK boarding prep school.

Admissions Collaboration

While centred on marketing, this role sits within a close-knit Marketing and Admissions team. You will:

• Support the admissions journey and engagement with prospective families
• Lead school tours and taster experiences with confidence and warmth
• Contribute to KPI reporting and enquiry-to-enrolment analysis
• Support reputation management and strategic communications where required

The Person

We are seeking a flexible, goal-driven marketer with energy, integrity and initiative.

You will bring:

• Proven marketing and communications experience, ideally within education, hospitality or a service-led environment
• Strong photography and videography skills, with instinctive storytelling ability
• A confident understanding of digital marketing, social media strategy and content performance
• Excellent copywriting and editing skills with sensitivity to tone and audience
• A data-informed mindset with the ability to evaluate performance and adapt activity
• Outstanding organisation and attention to detail
• The confidence to work both independently and collaboratively
• A warm, professional and discreet manner

Experience within an independent school environment is desirable but not essential.

Above all, you will have a genuine interest in people and in contributing positively to the life of a busy, ambitious boarding school community.

Benefits

• Competitive salary: 38,000- 50,000 depending on experience
• Free lunches during term time
• Pension scheme
• Continuing Professional Development
• Pro-rata fee remission for children of staff
