OutlineKing’s is an inclusive international school open to qualifying students of all ****s, though the majority are Chinese. We have had a successful Pre-Prep school for Early Years since 2019, and now following the opening of our Primary and Secondary campus in Autumn 2022, we are looking to expand our teaching and leadership provision in our Prep and Senior Schools.The school follows an international curriculum throughout, the Cambridge Pathway, to IGCSE and A Levels. However, the Grade 1-7 curriculum is supplemented by Chinese language and humanities, and Chinese (Shanghai) mathematics. All students experience a rich variety of co-curricular opportunities and be supported by pastoral care of the highest standard, all of which are essential to a truly holistic and inclusive education.We start our A Level programme in September 2023.Although we are unlikely to have students applying for university until the 2024-2025 application cycle, the role of University Applications Officer is a crucial one from now onwards as we look to build our Senior School profile. Some of the more specific subject advice and preparation at KSS will be in the hands of the tutors and lead teachers. However, the University Applications Officer will work with and alongside our tutors and the wider academic team, liaising with the experienced department at the King’s School, Canterbury, advising and directing applications.The role extends wider than simply dealing with universities and their courses, but in helping our senior pupils, at least from Grade 8 upwards, to build a profile for themselves which will make them stand out as strong candidates for further study and, eventually, employment in a changing world. This means extending their skills, increasing their experiences through trips, academic talks and research opportunities, placements, etc. It also means that there is school administration work which falls under the postholder’s remit, and, as a comparatively new school here, the postholder must be prepared to support a variety of tasks.The role may well involve evening and weekend presentations, recruitment events, etc. It also involves continual liaison with academic staff.The post holder should also be experienced and familiar in terms of the application processes and requirements for British universities (the UCAS system), American (the Common App), those in Hong Kong, as well as being prepared to research wider afield.S/he reports to Head of the department and by extension to the Head of Senior School.Key ResponsibilitiesGeneral1.To support the Head of Senior School in the smooth running of the Senior School.
