Full time, permanent
The Directorate of Marketing, Communications and International is excited to be recruiting two permanent Student Recruitment Officers. The Student Recruitment Officer (Regional) is an essential post in the University’s ambitions to grow both undergraduate and postgraduate student numbers at the Ipswich campus.
About the role
Two posts available, to cover specific regions of the UK and will therefore be predominantly based from home.

These posts will be expected to visit the University approximately every two months for meetings, training and to support on-campus recruitment events.
You will be responsible for account managing a group of schools and colleges and delivering presentations and workshops in schools and colleges normally within a 2-hour radius of your home base. You will organise academic engagement and on-campus recruitment events (e.g. taster days and subject conferences). You will also support the work to increase national recruitment, by attending large Higher Education fairs that take place across England and Wales.
The travel commitment at busy periods of the year will require you to be in schools and colleges on most days of a week.
