Marketing Executive - The Pilgrims’ School : Job Details

The Role

This role is the single marketing specialist role in the School and is suited to a true marketing generalist but with a clear ability to create highly effective social media content and engagement. We seek strong marketing talent, adept at creating compelling stories on the digital platforms that drive public conversation.

The purpose of this role is to undertake marketing-related tasks, including producing day-to-day marketing collateral, running the School’s social media channels, ensuring the website is up to date, answering marketing enquiries and communicating effectively with both internal and external stakeholders.

You will also be responsible for executing the marketing strategy plan, initially created between the School and an external marketing consultancy. The role works collaboratively with - and is line managed by - the Registrar in order to ensure the School’s marketing aligns with its admissions and pupil recruitment needs.

This is a 52-week contract where you will work 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday. The working hours will generally be between 8.30am and 5.30pm, including a one-hour lunch break.

The School

The Pilgrims’ School is a leading, selective day and boarding boys’ prep and double choir school in a beautiful and historic 'city meets country’ setting in Winchester. It is a vibrant, lively school where boys aged 4 to 13 are encouraged to find their passions and nurture them, whether that be in the classroom, science lab, music room, art room, sports fields, at Forest School or beyond.

Nestled between Winchester Cathedral, Winchester College, and Wolvesey Palace, the School occupies a superb site in the historic Cathedral Close. We enjoy the use of the picturesque Wolvesey playing fields and the sporting facilities of Winchester College. With our choral foundations, the School encourages musical achievements in all its pupils but also excels in academic endeavours, sport and the arts. We enjoy an enviable local and national reputation.
