**PLEASE NOTE WE WILL ONLY CONSIDER CANDIDATES IN AND AROUND THE WEST SUSSEX AREA WHO SUBMIT A CV, COVERING LETTER AND PORTFOLIO**

We are looking for a talented and enthusiastic Photographer with excellent photographic skills to join our team.

This role will involve photographing many different types of school events, including; portraiture, sports, drama, music, candid/documentary “school life”, prize giving, special guest events and more. Some of these occasions are also recorded on video.

We attend each of our schools approximately 80 times each academic year to capture a comprehensive photo (and video) record of each child’s time at school.

You will be responsible for taking outstanding images that our schools and their families will cherish and use to remember this special time in their children’s lives.

You’ll need to have the confidence to meet and build relationships with our customers independently.

To succeed in this position, candidates should have exceptional communication, computer and problem-solving skills. You should be resourceful, analytical, adaptable and organised with the ability to build rapport with our customers and team members.
