Student Recruitment Events Team Leader

The organisation and delivery of University Open Days for Undergraduate and Postgraduate prospective students is an essential component to recruit high quality students and showcase what the University of Southampton has to offer.

The Student Recruitment, Marketing and Events Department is looking to recruit an events expert, with experience of large-scale event delivery to organise this key activity as a maternity cover. Ideally the post holder will have an understanding of the education sector, but this isn’t essential. A proven record of complex event management with multiple stakeholders will be required as well as a passion for the sector to deliver what is expected from our prospective students.

The role will manage a small team to organise the Open Days but will be supported by the wider team during event delivery and is expected to support other in person and virtual events delivered within the Student Recruitment Event Team.

For an informal chat or to ask questions on this role please contact Aimie Bellwood – Head of Student Recruitment Events by email a.

As a university we aim to create an environment where everyone can thrive and are proactive in fostering a culture of inclusion, respect and equality of opportunity. We believe that we can only truly meet our objectives if we are reflective of society, so we are passionate about creating a working environment in which you are free to bring your whole self to work.

With a generous holiday allowance as well as additional university closure days we are committed to supporting our staff and students and open to a flexible working approach.

Apply by 11.59 pm UK time on the closing date. For assistance contact Recruitment on or  quoting the job number.
