Partnerships and Insights Officer

St John Rigby College offers a wide range of academic and vocational courses at all levels in a highly supportive and caring environment to approximately 1400 full-time students aged 16-18. We welcome applications from people who are keen to work with us to deliver educational excellence at all levels.

The College was inspected in January 2024 and was judged to be “outstanding” in every category. Inspectors quote: “Students are highly motivated to achieve. They embody the culture of kindness, mutual respect and high expectations that permeates the College.

This is an exciting and rare opportunity to join the Marketing and Partnerships team at a key point in our development.

The Partnerships & Insight Officer plays a central role in shaping, coordinating and evaluating the College’s school’s engagement and recruitment activity. The role combines outward-facing partnerships with a strong focus on data, digital tools, reporting and insight, ensuring that engagement activity is well planned, well delivered and clearly linked to impact across the student journey.

The postholder will spend time out in schools and at engagement events, representing the College and building strong relationships, as well as working on-site to manage the school’s liaison calendar, coordinate and document activity across the team and analyse the effectiveness of engagement activity.

A key element of the role is understanding how engagement activity influences prospective student behaviour across events and touchpoints, including repeat engagement, expressions of interest, applications and progression through the recruitment cycle.

We are looking for someone with pace, energy and ambition, who is confident working with data and technology, enjoys working with people, and is motivated by creating engaging, high-impact experiences that place the student experience at the centre of everything we do.

At SJR we value work-life balance and the well-being of our employees and will endeavour to support flexible working arrangements where possible, whilst ensuring the operational needs of the College are met. Term time hours will be considered.

We promote equality of opportunity and embrace diversity. The College is accredited as a Disability Confident Employer and is an accredited member of the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter.
