You will also support recruitment activities for the school through attendance at open and applicant days. You will also be expected to play an active role in research, scholarly and knowledge exchange activity.

We have links with local sports providers and schools who employ many Marjon alumni and continue to offer many excellent opportunities for our students. You will be expected to develop and maintain excellent working relationships with our partners.
