Interim Head of Student Recruitment and International Relations mat cover

Trinity Laban strives to achieve excellence beyond tradition, creating a home for performing artists in which boundaries are pushed, collaborations are key, and artistic pioneers are made. We are a world-leading home for students from all backgrounds with a programme of activity that reaches out to all sections of society, centering the performing arts as a force for cultural and social progress.  

We’re looking to fill a 12-month maternity role as Head of Student Recruitment and International Relations, to take the lead in encouraging outstanding creative artists from around the world to join us too. Could that be you?

If so, you will lead delivery of student recruitment activity for the academic year 2025/2026 and into the following academic year, to meet recruitment targets from the UK and overseas for a full suite of higher education programmes in music, musical theatre and dance.

You will coordinate recruitment activities across UK and International markets, attend conferences and educational events, manage our agent network and hold presentations and seminars. You will lead the institutional partnerships strategy, maintaining strong relationships with schools, universities and conservatoires around the world, as well as oversight of new ones, with a particular focus on planned TNE partnerships in China.

You will work closely with academic staff from across our art forms, which are stuffed full of friendly, passionate, hard-working, talented teachers, academics and administrators. You will never be bored, and you will enjoy working within one of the most diverse and vibrant educational and cultural organisations on the planet. Our campus sites include the Old Royal Naval College at Greenwich and the Stirling Prize award-winning Laban Building.

To join our team, you should be educated to degree level and have previously held a similar role either in a higher education or similar environment. You will be experienced in international recruitment practices including international partnership working. The ability to work collaboratively with colleagues and to build relations across diverse markets will be essential. Experience and knowledge of music and/or dance and/or working in an HE environment would be desirable.
