We’re looking for an ITE Admissions Coordinator to join our South and West regional team; someone who is organised, proactive and passionate about delivering an outstanding experience for future teachers.
Make a difference at the very start of a teacher’s journey!
The National Institute of Teaching (NIoT) has an unswerving commitment to high quality, evidence-informed teacher education, and is on a mission to improve the quality of teacher and leader development across the system. At the NIoT, we believe teaching is a fundamental societal good, a privilege and a responsibility, and we’re looking for someone who shares that belief and can turn it into outstanding candidate support.
About the role
This is a varied, people-focused role where no two days are the same. You’ll play a vital part in supporting candidates from their first expression of interest through to interview and beyond, ensuring every interaction reflects our values and commitment to excellence. Working with the Regional Recruitment Manager, the ideal candidate will have a passion for problem solving, and be able to highlight challenges within pipelines, and to coordinate interventions as necessary.
We are looking for a candidate with a strong track record of providing administrative support, ideally in an education setting, with a passion for being proactive and self-motivated, with a positive approach to work.
The South and West team is a small, growing and supportive team. We are all committed to teamwork and the goals of the entire team. This role will be required to support other aspects of the team’s work where required.

This role will support activity across the two South and West NIoT campuses (Greenway Centre, Bristol and Oasis Academy Woodview, Birmingham) but will primarily be linked to our Bristol campus. Applicants should therefore live within a commutable distance. The role will, on occasion, be required to travel to other sites across the country and travel expenses will be paid.
Benefits:
Highly competitive pay and pay progression opportunities.
Flexible start and end working times.
Flexible working opportunities, with significant scope for hybrid working.

Excellent opportunities to develop your skills and experience and to progress your career.
A stimulating, supportive and rewarding working environment with a dedicated team of likeminded professionals.
