Purpose of the Job

The Centenary Co-ordinator is a key new role to ensure Westholme School fulfils its ambitious plans to exceed expectations on all aspects of the Centenary celebrations in 2023. You will be required to work closely with the Principal, Commercial Director, colleagues and volunteers to drive the overall planning and execution of the year’s events, keeping them on track and on budget.

Many parts of the project will require more hands-on management such as the Centenary Exhibition and the Centenary Bursary campaign, whilst others will involve a lighter touch alignment with Committees. Creating and managing a database of stakeholders throughout the period will be essential.

Areas of Responsibility and Key Tasks:

* To own and drive a multi-faceted programme, working closely with multiple stakeholders to deliver a truly spectacular Centenary celebration

* To create a comprehensive project plan with responsibilities and budgets

* To create a dynamic marketing campaign for the Centenary year with assistance from the Admissions and Promotion team

* To establish a database of stakeholders and manage it proactively

* To introduce and manage taster events to prepare and pave the way for the Centenary year

* Take an active role in outreach and engagement with the entire Westholme Family

* To lead on health & safety, safeguarding, risk assessments and licensing for events

* To report to the Centenary Committee on a monthly basis on all KPIs

* To liaise closely with the Admissions and Promotions Managers on the development of an Alumni programme

This list is not exhaustive but rather an indication of the main requirements of the role.

Applications should be submitted to the Commercial Director by Monday 26 July at 5:00pm.
