Hazelwood is an independent co-educational Prep School for children aged between 4 and 13 years of age.  It has a linked nursery (on a separate site 2 miles away), The Nursery and Early Years, which caters for children between the ages of 3 months and 4 years.  The school has a rich history spanning over 125 years.  In that time, many generations of the same families have passed through its doors on their way to some of the UK’s leading Senior Schools and Universities. There is a strong sense of affinity with the school in the local community.  The nearest town, Oxted, is situated one mile away and has excellent mainline rail links into London.  The M25 is easily accessible. 

In September 2020 we will have almost 600 children across the two sites.  The Prep School is situated in 25 acres of grounds with phenomenal views over the North Downs.  The school boasts some wonderful facilities (with plans for more in 2020) which are open to use by the local community after school hours as part of a developing Lettings Programme.

The Role

The school is looking to recruit an Enterprise Manager who can, whilst working within the boundaries of the School’s vision and brand values, develop a programme of recognised and ground-breaking initiatives to develop new or extend existing revenue streams.

These may include, but not be restricted to:

An enhanced Lettings Programme making wider and more creative use of existing facilities.

A connection with the school’s alumni in order to re-engage with past pupils and to involve them in the life of the school, past, present and future.

An opportunity to harness the school’s human resources and innovative approach to teaching and learning for the benefit of pupils overseas

A report has been commissioned by the school which is available, as a starting point, for the successful candidate to review and develop. 

The Enterprise Manager is a newly created role for the school.  The successful candidate will work closely with members of the Senior Leadership Team and the Board of Governors.

The Successful Candidate

Will be someone with experience of working within the fund-raising sector, and ideally within schools or the education sector with a proven track record in generating revenue from alternative business streams.

You should possess energy for both developing ideas and implementing them. 

You will boast a creative mind balanced by the ability to be analytical and consider the finer detail.

You will have a detailed grasp on developing budgets and financial plans showing required investment and possible returns on that investment.

You will be a convincing orator, a persuasive negotiator and credible sales person.

You will find building and maintaining relationships based on trust, honesty and integrity, comes naturally to you.
