Student Recruitment Assistant
We are looking for a confident and organised individual to join our UK Student Recruitment Team as a Student Recruitment Assistant.
About The Role
You will represent the University of Bath at recruitment events in schools, colleges and at large‑scale higher education exhibitions across the UK. You’ll provide information, advice and guidance to prospective students considering higher education, mainly through representing the University at Higher Education Fairs whilst also delivering some talks and sessions on topics such as choosing Bath or making a competitive university application.
Alongside in‑person activity, you’ll help coordinate a programme of digital recruitment events such as subject‑specific webinars for prospective students, working with colleagues across the department and wider university to deliver engaging online content. You’ll also support the smooth running of our wider recruitment operations, helping to maintain relationships with targeted schools and colleges and ensuring events, communications and processes run efficiently throughout the year.
This is an exciting opportunity to be out on the road representing Bath, helping more students from under‑represented and priority groups to learn about higher education and to see Bath as a place where they can belong and succeed.
