Post 16 Outreach and Recruitment Officer

Nottingham Trent University’s Post 16 Outreach and Recruitment Team are looking to recruit a confident and effective communicator to join their busy team to perform the role of Post 16 Outreach and Recruitment Officer. The main objectives of the role are to engage with key post 16 feeder institutions to raise awareness of the benefits of studying at NTU and contributing to the University’s recruitment objectives.

The post holder will need to be a flexible and proactive individual capable of working on their own initiative and as an effective team member. They will have excellent presentation skills and the ability, empathy, and experience to engage with young people. They will also be able to build and nurture relationships with stakeholders in sixth forms and colleges with the core aim of strengthening the image and perception of NTU. Other responsibilities will include supporting the Post 16 Outreach and Recruitment Team with the development of new and existing activities, representing NTU at nationwide education events and recording data.

The post-holder will be expected to travel across wide areas of the UK throughout the year. The role involves substantial periods away from the office and over-night stays.

Candidates should be educated to degree level and will ideally have some experience of working with young people in an education setting; however, this is not essential. They must be confident managing groups in a classroom setting and delivering presentations to large audiences with the aim of influencing their decision making about their university choices.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a dynamic team and to further your experience working with schools and young people.

NTU is a university at the peak of its powers, but we know we can still go even further. Join us in our mission to become ‘the university of the future’ — seize the challenge and adventure of working with an organisation where progress never stops. This is your career, reimagined.

Alongside your application, please submit a supporting statement that clearly shows you have the attributes and competencies outlined in the person specification. This is to be no longer than two sides of A4.

Closing date: 11/04/2022

Interview date: TBC
