This is an exciting time to join UCB. You will have the opportunity to shape our marketing and recruitment strategy as we increase our course portfolio, having a significant impact across the institution. You will be reporting to a Pro Vice-Chancellor, and leading a committed team of marketing, admissions and recruitment professionals. You will work closely with colleagues in the international team, and with academic staff across the University.

UCB is an ambitious and fast-moving institution with a long history, and a fantastic reputation for vocationally-focused education. We are proud of our incredibly diverse student body, and of our unique blend of FE and HE provision.  We are looking for someone who can make the most of our existing reputation, and the opportunities that our new partnership with the University of Warwick, and our new course developments, provide for promoting what we offer to our audiences.

Most importantly, you will have a strong sense of UCB’s potential, and the ideas and experience to make it happen.
