Job Description
About GESS
As one of the leading international schools in Singapore, GESS is home to students from over 70 nations worldwide. We are for many families the home away from home and we are very happy that they are part of our school community which is based on mutual support and solidarity. With our language programme, we support our students to nurture this part of their identity and want to preserve the opportunity that they can grow up with multiple languages to be best prepared for an international environment. With the German International Abitur or the IB Programme they are perfectly prepared for their career after school. Our students enjoy lifelong learning and we take pride in our GESS values of respect, openness and diversity which our students will nurture in their life after school.
We were awarded with the “Deutsche Schulpreis” (German school prize) 2022, which was given to us for our extraordinary concept according to their motto “Make teaching better”. We stand out as the only German school abroad nominated for this award.
Job Purpose
Partnering with families is a guiding statement for GESS. Admissions Officers are parents’ first point of contact with GESS and strongly influence parents’ first impressions of GESS. This role ensures that new parents and students feel supported and welcomed into our community and that their needs, concerns and wishes are identified and addressed.
This role plays a key part in meeting in the Marketing and Admissions department’s new student number targets. The Admissions Officer will need to proactively manage prospective families, ensuring a high conversion rate into enrolled new students and strong family satisfaction with the admissions process.
As the main point of contact for new families, he/she will be liaising with other school departments (for example: Learning support or School Bus) and Academic Heads. Maintaining good relations and ensuring information is provided promptly will be key a success factor for this role.
