About the role

We are seeking an exceptional Director of the Future Students Office to join our External Relations Division.

You would be joining us at an exciting time. We have had some outstanding successes in the past year in terms of our research and league table performance.

We were also placed 35th in the Guardian University Guide.

Research England published the results of REF2021 and the results show that, since the previous REF in 2014, the University has moved up 23 places to rank 30th overall in the Times Higher Education REF rankings. This represents one of the biggest climbs of any university. This is our best ever performance in a research assessment exercise and an exceptional testament to the quality and impact of our academics’ research and the wider research environment.

Leicester has a rich tradition of inspirational teachers and research investigators who are producing talented graduates, discovering new knowledge, pioneering breakthroughs and ultimately transforming lives for the better.
