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.

You should respond well to targets; those of your own setting and those set by others and be able to demonstrate a delivery against high expectations.

You should relish the opportunity of navigating unchartered waters and of making a difference.

You should love working in an environment which exists for the benefit of educating young people and should see their progress as your motivation to excel in your role. 

You should be as happy working front of house as in the backroom delivery.

The Enterprise Manager will be expected to uphold and actively promote the Hazelwood Behaviour Competencies of Big Picture Thinking, Communication, Adaptability & Flexibility, Building Relationships, Planning & Organisation, Professionalism and Teamwork.

Profile

In addition, the profile of a successful Enterprise Manager is likely to demonstrate qualities of:

• Integrity, honesty, loyalty and reliability.
• Diplomacy, discretion, patience and humour.
• Desire to become involved in the wider aspects of school life

We live in a country with an ageing population – by 2040, 1 in 4 people in the UK will be 65 or over.  Independent Age exists so that people can continue to live life on their own terms, campaigning and providing services to ensure people can enjoy being independent, financially secure, healthy, active and connected in older age. 

It’s an incredibly exciting time to join Independent Age and help make an impact on the lives of older people.

As people age, they are often let down by the systems in place to support them. Whether they struggle to manage multiple medications, live with undiagnosed conditions, or don’t receive treatment when they need it, older people and their families continually miss out on essential support when they need it most.

At Independent Age, our dynamic and ambitious policy team analyse the problems that affect people as they grow older, and develop tangible solutions to ensure that no-one feels ignored, isolated and marginalized.

We are looking for a Policy Manager to lead the development of our activity in the health sphere, working to improve the systems that impact people as they age.

The ideal candidate will have…..

• Experience of developing and leading complex programmes of policy work that achieve tangible change, specifically in the sphere of health.
• A strong understanding of how policy, public affairs and campaigning interact to make positive change happen, including an interest in politics and a good understanding of Westminster, Whitehall, NHS structures and local government.
• Proven ability to tailor written language to different audiences when writing briefings, consultation responses, and reports, etc.
• Experience of undertaking and project managing qualitative and/or quantitative research to inform policy positions and development.
• Experience of involving people who are affected by an issue in policy and research activity
• An understanding of the issues faced by older people.
• Experience of building good working relationships with a variety of internal and external stakeholders, including influencing politicians and decision makers.
• Strong verbal communication skills, with the ability to speak with people at all levels in person, by phone and email. 
• Proven ability to work independently and proactively to meet strict deadlines on a number of concurrent tasks.
• Strong IT skills including use of Microsoft Office packages.
