As one of two Student Recruitment Officers (Events), you will lead the planning and delivery of Warwick's Undergraduate Open Days and Offer Holder Days, which welcome thousands of prospective students and their guests to campus each year. This role offers a chance to think creatively as you design, manage and deliver events that are inclusive, accessible, and authentically reflect the student experience at a top-ranking, research-intensive university.

A meticulous organiser, you thrive when managing multiple priorities. Your collaborative mindset, sound professional judgement, and commitment to high standards will help you build strong working relationships and contribute meaningfully to student recruitment.


You are a skilled communicator, confident in presenting to large audiences and engaging a wide range of stakeholders. You'll bring a creative, solution-focused approach to problem solving and remain calm under pressure.


With a strong understanding of the UK higher education landscape and current sector trends, you recognise the critical role that recruitment events play in prospective students' decision-making. You're also confident in evaluating impact, responding to feedback, and demonstrating return on investment.
