We are looking for an experienced student recruitment professional to lead the delivery of student recruitment and conversion activity driving prospect generation, student applications and applicant conversion to the University. Working collaboratively with colleagues across the University, the Student Recruitment Lead will liaise with academic departments and professional services staff to deliver activity ensuring a positive high-quality journey for future students and their supporters from prospects through to enrolment (including enquiry management and conversion communications, delivering content at Open Days and other events, and attending UCAS Fairs). In addition, the post holder will take full responsibility for the launch of new courses, creating and coordinating the completion of new programme launch plans alongside colleagues from within the directorate and faculties.
The post holder will balance responsibility for leading the delivery of all student recruitment related activity for the University with the additional responsibilities of line management and of deputising, when required, for the Student Recruitment Operations Manager. The post holder will monitor, manage, and allocate workloads to recruitment staff, including a large pool of student staff, and act as line manager for Student Recruitment Officer and Student Recruitment Assistant, leading on their appraisal, staff development, recruitment, and training, under the guidance from the Student Recruitment Operations Manager.
This varied role requires excellent communication skills as well as interpersonal and management skills. The successful candidate will be passionate about higher education, and will be knowledgeable about the applicant journey and how best to support applicants. You will be creative and innovative, always looking for ways to improve the applicant experience.
The post holder will be required to work open days and other student recruitment events, working flexibly including evenings and occasional weekends with occasional travel around the country. The role is based at our Avery Hill Campus in Eltham, although on-the-day events support may be required at our Greenwich and Medway campuses.
