Stover School is an independent, non-selective, co-educational day school for pupils aged 3 to 18, set in 64 acres of historic parkland on the edge of Dartmoor in South Devon. As we approach our centenary in 2032, we are growing, with planning approval for a new sports hall and community facilities and an ambitious target for pupil numbers.
We are looking for an experienced marketer to lead our marketing as Development & Growth Manager. Reporting to the Bursar and leading the Admissions Manager and the Communication & Retention Lead, you will set the vision and strategy for how Stover is seen, heard and found, and then deliver it.
You will:
- Set and deliver the school’s marketing strategy, with responsibility for growing pupil numbers
- Lead digital, social and content activity, including paid campaigns with agency partners
- Drive enquiries and open day attendance, acting as the first point of contact for prospective families
- Build referral, community and sponsorship relationships
- Grow income from the estate through facility hire and events
- Lead the Communication, Engagement & Admissions team and manage external suppliers
We are looking for someone with a proven track record in marketing and a real understanding of the potential of digital and social channels. Experience in a school setting is desirable, but relevant experience from other sectors is equally welcome.
