This position will primarily be based on the university campus, but there is also potential for a hybrid work arrangement. We are open to discussing flexible working options, including secondment or job sharing.

Are you skilled at delivering effective communications and engagement activities? Can you work collaboratively with colleagues and partners to meet the needs of our diverse audience and help students engage with the intercultural opportunities at Leeds?

The Student Education Service is a passionate and ambitious service at the University, dedicated to providing an exceptional student experience for our 38,000+ students and 9,200 staff members. Our teams are committed to supporting every student in maximizing their time at Leeds and achieving success in their chosen career. Collaboration is essential to our success, and we actively seek to work with others within the University and externally. If you are interested in joining a community of 800 professionals working across our beautiful campus, we would love to hear from you.

The University offers an exciting and creative environment for building a career. Our staff brings a diverse range of skills and experiences to the table, working together in a collaborative and inclusive manner alongside our students and academic colleagues. We value diversity and welcome individuals to our global community.

Our International Student Office and Global Community Team work together to provide a warm welcome and ongoing support for our international students, as well as engaging all students in activities that foster a sense of belonging and offer intercultural experiences on campus and in the surrounding Leeds community.

We are now seeking an organized, adaptable, and student-focused communications professional to lead the delivery of our team’s communications and engagement activities. This role requires someone who can empathize with students from diverse backgrounds and ensure that our communications are inclusive of international students, contributing to a seamless student experience throughout their journey and inspiring all students to make the most of their time at an international university.

Strong communication and influencing skills are essential for this role, as is the ability to work flexibly and collaboratively with a wide range of staff, students, and partners.

In return, we offer a generous benefits package, including 26 days of holiday plus 16 Bank Holidays or University closure days, a pension scheme, life assurance, discounted access to our state-of-the-art campus gym, opportunities for personal development, on-site childcare options, shopping discounts, and travel schemes.
