Communications and Engagement Assistant

Permanent, Full-time, Term-Time Plus

We have a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic team-player with excellent communications skills to join our friendly and hardworking team. The Communications and Engagement Assistant will support a range of marketing, communications and fundraising activities and will work with all stakeholders and audiences across our school community, from pupils and parents to teachers and alumnae.

The successful candidate will have a positive ‘can do’ approach, the ability to build excellent relationships, good technical ability, and strong communications skills, and will be keen to embrace all aspects of life in a fast-paced school for high-achieving girls.

This is an exciting time to be joining LEH as we deliver our ambitious new strategy. This role will support several areas of our school’s work – one day you could be filming a whole-school assembly and creating a reel for social media before updating our database and creating an e-newsletter, the next you could be writing supporter thank you letters, helping to organise an alumnae event and delivering a fundraising campaign. If you have a great set of skills and are looking for a versatile role in an inspiring environment, this could be the job for you.

What we offer:

• LEH is a thriving school situated on a 24-acre site west of London. It has a vibrant and diverse community, and LEH students are renowned for their academic prowess as well as their success across an extraordinarily wide range of co-curricular activities, including sport, music, and drama.
• We have state-of-the-art facilities, and we encourage staff to make the most of the school’s swimming pool, tennis courts, free lunches, on-site parking, and library services.
• A list of our attractive range of benefits can be found here.

How to apply:

An application pack is available from the School’s website. Applications must be made on the School’s own form and should be sent to personnel@lehs.org.uk.

The closing date is noon on Tuesday, 22nd October 2024.

Interview to be held on Wednesday, 6th November 2024.

CVs will not be considered and should not be submitted.

Safeguarding Statement:

All staff working in the School will have some contact with children and will therefore be in regulated activity. Staff with teaching duties will be responsible for the pupils that they teach and may also have additional specific pastoral or other responsibilities for other pupils they do not teach. In addition, all staff will regularly interact with pupils who may seek assistance or otherwise interact with them whilst moving around the School. In all cases, the post holder’s responsibility for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of the pupils is to adhere to and ensure compliance with the School’s safeguarding policies and procedures at all times.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.

Lady Eleanor Holles is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
