Required for February 2020 (or as soon as possible thereafter)
This is a truly outstanding opportunity to provide strategic leadership in a new Admissions and Marketing role on the SLT of a top international school and to live and work in one of the most vibrant and dynamic cities in South East Asia.
The British International School is the leading school in Ho Chi Minh City – it has grown rapidly since it was founded in 1997 and now has 2,200 students from 55 nationalities and in 2015 became part of Nord Anglia Education. The school has three campuses (Early Years/Infants, Junior and Secondary) all of which have excellent purpose-built facilities and where staff aim to develop the whole child with a strong pastoral emphasis and a breadth of extra-curricular opportunities. It is expanding its secondary campus where students achieve impressive results at iGCSE and IB.
The Principal, Anthony Rowlands, now seeks a strong commercial leader to join his Senior Leadership Team. You will manage a relatively large Admissions and Marketing team reflective of the size and complexity of the School. It will be important to develop the people, create strong team spirit and ensure that all elements of the admissions process, communications and events are delivered to the highest standards. In addition to acting as Brand Guardian for the British International School Ho Chi Minh City, membership of the Nord Anglia Education group provides an extra dimension to this role. This will enable the sharing of best practice, training and development and allows the School to be celebrated as a regional centre of excellence thanks to their links with Juilliard School of Performing Arts, MIT and UNICEF.
The successful candidate is probably already a proven senior leader in Marketing and Admissions in an educational setting and should either have prior experience of working overseas or a genuine desire to work in a dynamic, international and cross-cultural environment. They should be talented, personable, innovative, commercially-minded and a team player.
