We’re seeking someone who wants to make a real difference each day and create value from every experience, unlocking potential in both themselves and others.

As an Advice and Admissions Adviser you would be the first point of contact for our learners and visitors. Working out of each college's dedicated advice centre or covering at reception as required, you'd provide advice on the full range of courses and services offered at the college, and sometimes support and encouragement too, to overcome fears and perceived limitations. Working with our faculty colleagues you’ll get learners ready to start their course with us - arranging interviews, confirming offers and liaising closely with faculty teams to convert applicants to enrolments.

You will receive the full training and support that you’d expect from Activate Learning, an organisation with a reputation that sets it apart from other providers.

This is a permanent, part-time position working 9 hours per week during term time (0.21 FTE), with the hours worked across Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The role is primarily based at Woodley Hill House, Eastcourt Avenue, Reading, RG6 1HH
, where you will be required to work independently and undertake lone working responsibilities. However, you will also be required to work at Reading College for training purposes and to provide cover and support as required to meet the needs of the team.

You must have experience working a busy environment and meeting targets, as well as interacting with clients/stakeholders who require advice or guidance. This could be from experience in a previous role like customer service, pastoral care or receptionist work, so long as you're keen to help people in a fast paced environment!

Being great with people and an excellent communicator is absolutely key to being successful in this role. You’ll have the ability to talk to our learners, staff and visitors with ease, demonstrating a positive attitude and ensuring you always provide an excellent customer experience.

If you have great organisational and customer service skills, target-focussed with a proactive approach to problem-solving, then a career as an Advice and Admissions Adviser at Activate Learning could be a great opportunity for you.

Activate Learning is a pioneering education group with a global reach, committed to transforming lives through our approach to learning.

We see our employees as individuals, empowering them to make the right choices for their ambitions and careers. We value our people as vital to our continued success and aspire to a diverse, open and inclusive environment that provides the motivation for everyone to pursue their career goals and flourish.

When you work for Activate Learning, you’re working for an organisation that provides you with the advantages of a large employer, a trusted partner in your career development, and a transformational way of working whilst also investing in building a community environment for everyone.

Together, we will bring out the best version of yourself.
