THE ROLE
The Outreach and Admissions Assistant will sit within the Pembroke
Admissions Office, and provide administrative and delivery support
in admissions and outreach matters to both the Admissions Officer,
and the Schools' Liaison and Admissions Support Officer. It is a new
role, which has been designed to support all elements of the work
the Admissions Office undertakes. The Admissions Office's
responsibilities are twofold; firstly, the office oversees the
organisation and delivery of the admissions process for
undergraduate students to Pembroke College. Secondly, it is
responsible for all undergraduate outreach and recruitment work
that is undertaken by Pembroke, on behalf of the College and the
University more broadly. However, from the months of October

  • December, the whole team is primarily focussed on the
undergraduate admissions round.

Whilst there will be periods where the post holder will be required to
work in the office, generally speaking the Admissions Office operates
a hybrid working policy


The team itself comprises:
the Director of
Undergraduate (UG) Admissions, the Deputy Director of UG
Admissions and Head of Widening Participation, the Admissions
Officer, the Schools' Liaison and Admissions Support Officer, and the
new post of Outreach and Admissions Assistant.
