Key information

Bournemouth University’s vision is worldwide recognition as a leading university for inspiring learning, advancing knowledge and enriching society through the fusion of education, research and practice. Our highly skilled and creative workforce is comprised of individuals drawn from a broad cross section of the globe, who reflect a variety of backgrounds, talents, perspectives and experiences that help to build our global learning community. The post-holder will play a key role in embedding and integrating our internationalisation efforts in support of the University’s strategy, BU2025.

To enable our students to realise their global potential, we are looking to recruit a Senior Global Engagement Coordinator to support our staff and student mobility as well as international partnerships development ambitions. This role will be part of an established team and will focus on coordinating and administering the delivery of student and staff international mobility activity and support the delivery of ambitious international partnership developments.

The post-holder will be ultimately responsible for the ongoing project management and administration and coordination of international student and staff mobility schemes and programmes.

This is an exciting and varied role that will suit someone who has a passion for the internationalisation of Higher Education. The right candidate will have solid project management and administrative experience and exceptional organisational and communication skills including global awareness. Ideally, you will have worked in the UK Higher Education Sector in the field of international mobility and/or partnerships but this is not essential.

This permanent position will suit a solution-oriented, confident and self-motivated individual who is able to work well as part of a team and on their own initiative, who will thrive in a busy staff and student facing role.
