Title: Marketing Apprentice  

Salary: £25,780 pa 

This is an exciting time for the External Relations department and our marketing team are busier than ever. They play a pivotal role in showcasing Freemen’s life to our current and future families and across the local and wider communities. The hard work is paying off as we begin to see record numbers of pupil admissions, as well as significantly increased engagement and community support.  

There is still more to be done, however. This role will play a crucial part in helping us to meet our marketing team objectives as well as the School's wider strategic plan. Most days bring new opportunities and some challenges, which we face together, usually with a smile, a joke and whenever possible with cake.  

The successful candidate would need to be comfortable in a team atmosphere. While we all have our distinct areas of responsibility, we are not afraid to lend a hand as and when other members of the team require it, with everyone collaborating to ensure the success and growth of the wider External Relations function. However, any new member of the team can expect support at every level.
