Admissions Manager
Villars-sur-Ollon, CH
From September 2025
ABOUT US
College Alpin Beau Soleil is a unique school community in the Swiss Alps: home to 300 students aged 11-18 from 50 countries around the world and offering an unparalleled educational experience. We believe it’s what you do that counts, and our students take on challenges 7 days each week, in and out of the classroom, that help them develop into young people capable of taking on the world.
Curricular programmes in English and French, based around the IB Diploma, provide a foundation for academic success at universities around the world, whilst the experience of living and working with friends from all around the world sets up students as truly global citizens of the future. Everyone is an individual here, but we sum to a very special community.
OUR LOCATION
Our alpine location in the heart of Villars-sur-Ollon in Switzerland offers an enviable lifestyle with skiing on the doorstep in the winter months and a multitude of outdoor and sporting activities throughout the year. Montreux, Lausanne and Geneva are all within easy reach for cultural adventures and inspiration, but we travel across Europe and around the world too.
The Beau Soleil campus is an inspiring place to work, with facilities that are second to none. Students and staff thrive in an environment of which they are proud, and which inspires us to better things every day.
YOUR PROFILE
Are you energised by human connection, international travel, and the opportunity to help families find the right school for their child? At Beau Soleil, the role of Admissions Manager is about far more than handling enquiries — it’s about building relationships, inspiring confidence, and creating a warm, lasting first impression of our school.
No two days are the same. One moment you may be answering a parent’s first question; the next, welcoming a family on campus or preparing for an event that brings our global community together. From initial contact to the pupil’s first day, you’ll accompany each family with care and professionalism.
You’ll work closely with colleagues across academic and boarding teams to ensure a smooth transition for every new student. You’ll also represent Beau Soleil around the world, sharing what makes our school so distinctive with families and educational consultants. This role involves frequent international travel, often at short notice and during intense, high-paced trips.
Fluent in English and French, and ideally Russian too, you bring warmth, initiative and clarity to your role. You understand that every application carries with it a story — and you’re ready to help shape its next chapter.
This isn’t just a role — it’s a chance to open doors, build bridges across cultures, and help young people begin an extraordinary journey.
