Overview

We are looking to appoint a Home Recruitment Officer to join our Home Recruitment team within Student Recruitment at the University of Nottingham. This is a varied and rewarding role that combines working with 16–18-year-olds and mature students at schools and colleges across the UK.

• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills to engage with learners, families and teachers.
• Experience in delivering and adapting presentations, organising events, and excellent IT skills for online delivery.
• Ability to build and maintain rapport with colleagues, academic staff, student ambassadors, and work effectively as part of a team.

Conditions
