External Relations Graduate

An External Relations Graduate role at Whitgift School supporting admissions, development, and marketing through communications, social media, alumni engagement, and events management.

Whitgift is one of Britain’s leading independent boarding and day schools for boys aged between 10 and 18 years, with approximately 1500 pupils and over one hundred boarding pupils. It is set in an attractive 48-acre parkland site in South Croydon enjoying excellent links to London, Surrey and the south coast.

We are seeking to appoint an External Relations Graduate to support the Development, Admissions & Marketing departments, in a role that requires professionalism, attention to detail and autonomy in a busy school environment. An essential part of this role is developing communications with alumni and parents, through e-newsletters, website development, social media, events and business networking.

The External Relations Graduate will report to senior colleagues in the Development, Admissions & Marketing teams.

We invite interested candidates to apply as soon as possible as applications will be reviewed on a daily basis, and interviews may take place at any time. This vacancy may close earlier than the stated deadline if sufficient applications are received, so early submission is encouraged.

Whitgift School (part of the John Whitgift Foundation) is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. 

Where applicable, applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service and online media checks. It is an offence to apply for a role at the school if you know that you are barred from regulated activity with children.
