Royal High School Bath is seeking a commercially minded and relationship-driven Business Development and Partnership Manager to develop new opportunities that support the school’s ambitions, reputation, and wider community impact.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The successful candidate will combine commercial instinct with sound judgment, understanding the importance of balancing income generation with the values of a school community. You will be an enthusiastic ambassador for Royal High Bath, motivated by the opportunity to create meaningful partnerships, strengthen community connections, and help deliver lasting benefit for the school and its students.
If you are someone who enjoys building partnerships, spotting potential, and turning ideas into well-managed, successful projects, we would be delighted to hear from you.
