Job Description
THE ROLE
This role has a central part to play in the excellent stewardship of our community, which sits at the heart of all we do. We are a public-facing team and the postholder will be the first point of contact for enquiries within our office and therefore requires good interpersonal and communication skills.
You will have responsibility for maintaining excellent standards of data accuracy, creating reports and insights to inform our development strategies, and contribute to the stewardship of our supporters.
The post would suit someone who enjoys working with and analysing data, and who can translate the numbers into a narrative. You will have excellent IT skills attention to detail, and will be comfortable in working with databases and with packages such as Microsoft Excel.
THE SCHOOL
Oundle and Laxton Junior Schools have long been associated with the very best of modern independent education, especially boarding. The Schools take seriously their responsibility to pupils so that they can emerge as decent, open-minded adults; ambitious about what they can go on to achieve and contribute. Over 1400 pupils are on roll at the School, of whom 840 are full boarders. Academic results are steadfastly excellent.
A team of around 800 staff, both academic and support, ensure an education of the highest standard is in place across the Schools with the efforts of the whole team focused on this fundamental aim.
LIVING IN OUNDLE
We are fortunate in our location at the heart of a beautiful market town. School and town are part of the same community and our pupils take their place within this community, not isolated from it. The town has a spirited cultural life, with an annual international festival, literature festival, and frequent performances of nationally touring shows at the School’s Stahl Theatre.
