• Prepare letters, reports, presentations, agendas, and minutes to a professional standard suitable for parent- and leadership-facing use.
• Coordinate departmental activities, meeting schedules, correspondence, and document distribution so that the CX team operates without administrative friction.

• Confident working with data in Excel — building and maintaining trackers and reports, and producing simple analysis of feedback and survey results.
• Comfortable using feedback and survey tools (e.g. Qualtrics) and CRM or admissions systems to capture and track parent interactions.
• Familiarity with social media scheduling and content tools, and an eye for on-brand, parent-appropriate content.
• Strong time management and prioritisation skills.
