Job description

The King's community is dedicated to the service of society.

King's Strategic Vision 2029 sets out our vision for the future, shaped around five priority areas:

educate to inspire and improve; research to inform and innovate; serve to shape and transform; a civic university at the heart of London; and an international community that services the world.

Within the Brand and Marketing Department, we want the best and brightest students to choose to study at King's College London.

The Student Recruitment Team works with schools, colleges, teachers, counsellors and agents, in the UK and overseas, so that prospective students can engage with King's.

About the role

We are seeking multiple Student Recruitment Officers to join our friendly International and UK Student Recruitment team situated in the Brand and Marketing Department.

The purpose of these roles is to attract the best and brightest to study at King's College London.

Organising and delivering recruitment tours in UK and overseas key markets
Developing and delivering a suite of presentations and workshops for schools and colleges
Developing and delivering online activity for prospective students in key markets
Representing King's at HE Fairs
Hosting schools and colleges on King's campuses

This is an exciting opportunity from someone looking to develop a career supporting students to make informed choices, and who wish to travel overseas which will likely require up to 16 weeks per year.
