A willingness and ability to work flexibly and travel widely are fundamental to this position - we would welcome applications from London, Midlands and Oxfordshire areas.

We are looking for a Student Recruitment Officer to take responsibility for the management of student recruitment activity in a designated region of southern England. Ideally, you will be based in a region, to be assigned upon successful interview, or otherwise be based near Oxford and travel to your region as required.

We want to hear from candidates who have experience of advising prospective students, delivering impactful presentations and workshops, and who enjoy working in a fast-paced, changing environment.

Your knowledge of successful sales/recruitment practices will attract and convert a diverse cohort. You will develop meaningful relationships with key stakeholders, both at Oxford Brookes, and in businesses, schools, and colleges across the region. Through these relationships you will empower current and past students, academic colleagues, and other professionals to showcase our portfolio of courses and ensure learners in your region choose Oxford Brookes as their higher education institution of choice.

At Oxford Brookes, inclusivity is one of our five guiding principles: we take positive steps to create an environment in which we celebrate, value and provide equal opportunity to all. We are committed to recruiting from the widest possible pool and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates who embrace our values, regardless of their background. As a Disability Confident Employer we guarantee to interview any disabled applicant who meets the essential selection criteria.

We support a work-life balance for all staff, including career breaks, job sharing, flexible hours, etc. The team is based in our recently refurbished Officer on our Headington Campus, joining other colleagues who work approximately two days a week in the office and the remainder at home. The agile workspace is designed to offer various styles of working, such as collaborative spaces, hybrid meeting spaces, individual workstations and a more relaxed setting of comfy sofas.
