Main duties and responsibilities
This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in the Education and UK Student Recruitment Team. Reporting to one of our Senior Education Liaison Officers, you will be responsible for independently planning and delivering UK student recruitment activities with a view to raising the profile of the University of Hertfordshire to attract and encourage applications to the University. The successful candidate will be working with academics and colleagues across Marketing and Communications to develop and implement activities and events that will engage prospective students, parents, school and college staff.
You will be required to work flexibly, in person and virtually, to deliver workshops, presentations and represent the University at Higher Education Fairs and Exhibitions and other recruitment events. Some events will be in the evenings and weekends, with exhibitions taking place across the UK. You will also be responsible for data gathering, reporting on activities and competitor research with a view to improving and maintaining the University’s position.
Skills and experience required
You must have excellent communication and presentation skills, the ability to establish effective relationships with schools, colleges, colleagues and a wide range of stakeholders, as well as being a good team player. You will also need to have strong organisational skills, feel comfortable with travelling to and from events and remote working. A good knowledge of the UK education sector is needed and having prior educational advisory/student recruitment experience would be advantageous.
