This role will be based on the university campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

The Education Outreach team works in partnership with teams across the University in promoting the University so that we recruit the brightest and best students irrespective of background.

You will be expected to contribute and support other areas of the wider function of Educational Engagement.

The role, while mainly office hours, will require occasional evening/ weekend work.
