Student Recruitment and Widening Participation Officer - SE England

This role will be responsible for student recruitment in the counties: Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire.

As such, we would prefer candidates to be based within the counties but would also consider applications from candidates based in Essex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire because the post holder is expected to primarily travel to schools and colleges across Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire. There will be occasional travel to Aberystwyth, schools and colleges in the areas in teal and other areas of the UK to attend Higher Education fairs.

With excellent organisational skills and an exceptional communicator, you will be responsible for the recruitment of Undergraduate and Postgraduate students to the University. Reporting to the Partnership and Schools Liaison Manager (Outreach), you will organise and take part in recruitment and widening participation activities such as recruitment exhibitions and develop effective links with feeder institutions. These may include travelling within the UK (United Kingdom) to give talks and, often in collaboration with academic colleagues, facilitate workshops and other events on and off campus. You will need excellent interpersonal and communication skills and an undergraduate degree. This is a permanent post and will commence as soon as possible. A full UK driving licence is essential for this post.
