Job description
Leading Education is a rapidly growing international education consultancy focused on helping ambitious students to achieve places at world-leading universities. Our unique online tuition programme is designed to help students develop the curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking skills to win a place at Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, LSE or Medical schools. We have doubled our revenue year-on-year since our inception; we now deliver over 20,000 hours of tuition a year.
Alongside our commercial work, we run a highly successful Oxbridge Access Programme. The programme is growing at 300% a year and last year solicited applications from over 1/20th of the overall number of comprehensive school students applying to Oxbridge. By 2025, Leading Education aims to help more non-fee paying students than private, paying clients.

This role will play a vital role in Leading Education as an organisation. Providing students with unmatched application advice, you will be supporting students on both our free and paid-for programmes.
The role is very client-facing; you will be meeting with many students, parents, and other stakeholders every day. It is a role with a huge potential for growth and lots of autonomy from day one.

● Dedicated to working with demographics that have historically been underserved and under-resourced. Passionate about fair access to university education.
