We are seeking to appoint a dependable, organised, and welcoming Marketing and External Relations Administrator to join our operational support team at our Ford Park campus.  As a valued member of the school community, the successful candidate will provide essential administrative and logistical support across Plymouth College’s marketing activities, commercial facility lettings (LETS), and the Old Plymothian & Mannameadian (OPM) alumni network database.

Reporting to the Marketing and Communications Manager (and working under the overall leadership of the Director of Marketing, Admissions, and External Relations), the position involves coordinating routine external communications, processing facility lettings, updating databases, and providing administrative support for key school and alumni events. Working collaboratively across academic, administrative, and operational departments, the Administrator ensures all documentation, schedules, and client inquiries are handled efficiently and to a high standard.

To excel in this role, you must possess a proactive approach, meticulous attention to detail, and outstanding organisational and time management skills. You will demonstrate proficiency with digital media platforms, social media scheduling, proofreading, basic content creation tools (such as Canva), and database entry. Strict adherence to regulatory compliance, GDPR, and safeguarding guidelines across all contact databases is essential. While previous experience within a school environment or processing commercial lettings is desirable, full training will be provided for the right candidate. Most importantly, we require an individual with a conscientious work ethic, exceptional customer service skills, and a commitment to maintaining a warm, professional environment for prospective families, commercial clients, alumni, staff, and visitors.

This is a full-time, permanent role (52 weeks per year, including paid annual leave) providing continuous administrative support across marketing campaigns, commercial facility bookings, and alumni operations. The position is offered at Band 2A (£13.07 per hour), equivalent to an annual salary of £27,185.60 based on a 40-hour working week (Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 17:00, with a 30-minute unpaid lunch break).

The closing date for applications is 09:00hrs BST on Monday, 5th October 2026.

Interviews to take place on Monday 12th October 2026.

We are seeking to appoint a reliable, professional and community-minded School Transport Driver to join our dedicated transport team.

As a prominent representative of the College to our families and the wider community, the successful candidate will bear primary responsibility for the safe, punctual, and secure transportation of our pupils on daily school routes and to off-site fixtures. This vital role requires an individual who is highly confident in interacting with children, possesses a warm yet thoroughly professional demeanor, and excels at maintaining a calm and safe atmosphere on board.

Reporting directly to the Logistics and Transport Manager / Deputy Transport Manager, you will work as part of a professional fleet team where this rewarding position effectively balances driving duties with essential fleet maintenance. Alongside operating the school minibuses, the post holder will exercise keen initiative and technical awareness to undertake daily vehicle safety inspections, maintain strict standards of vehicle cleanliness, and proactively manage low-level fleet upkeep (such as fluid replenishment and checking tyre pressures) to ensure the continuous readiness and regulatory compliance of our vehicles.

To excel in this role, drivers need to work exceptionally well both independently on the road and as part of a cooperative transport team. Outstanding time management and excellent interpersonal skills are essential, alongside a natural ability to relate positively to young people, parents, and colleagues. While living locally is advantageous, it is not essential.

Candidates must hold a valid UK driving licence with Category D1 (or D) entitlement and a current Driver CPC qualification (DQC Card), alongside a commitment to full compliance with all of the School’s policies to safely and securely transport the School’s pupils each day.

This is a part-time, permanent position (Term Time only – 35 weeks per year) offered at an hourly rate of £13.26.
