Could your admissions team use an extra pair of hands?

Is your team stretched during peak admissions periods?

When enquiries, applications, visits and events happen all at once, an extra pair of hands can make all the difference.

Do you have projects that never quite make it to the top of the list?

CRM improvements, documentation and process reviews often get pushed to the 'Summer Job' list.

Are you introducing or improving an admissions system?

Whether you're setting up workflows and checklists, cleaning data, creating forms or templates, having someone who's been through it before can save valuable time and frustration.

Do you want to define a clearer follow-up journey for prospective families?

Whether it's one day a week, temporary cover or support for a specific project, I can fit around what your school needs.

Do you need experienced support - but not another full time member of staff?

CRM / Systems

Admissions systems should provide a clear picture of every prospective family and make routine work easier. In practice, inconsistent data, inherited processes and limited capacity can prevent teams from getting the value they expected from their CRM.

Projects & Planning

The difficulty is not deciding what to do; it’s finding the uninterrupted time to do it. Day-to-day operational demands prevent many teams from getting ahead of the admissions cycle. I can provide the focused time and practical support needed to turn plans into action, coordinate the work and keep important projects moving through to completion.

Interim Staffing Support

Staff absence, vacancies and recruitment gaps can leave admissions teams under pressure at critical points in the cycle. I can step in quickly to provide experienced interim cover, maintain continuity and keep the team and admissions activity moving while longer-term arrangements are made.
