Description

Please note that Bath Spa Graduate Scheme roles are only open to former Bath Spa students who graduated in 2024 or who will be graduating in 2025. This information will be checked in every application. Please do not apply if you do not meet this condition, as your application will be rejected. Bath Spa have many other roles available that are open to all; see here for BSU job board.

If you are a graduate of Bath Spa who does not meet the criteria for these roles, and would like support with your career please email [e-mail].

Please read the provided attachment "Bath Spa Graduate Scheme 2025 Information Sheet" for further information about the scheme.

Please note that as of April 2024, there has been a change in the UK's sponsorship threshold. Regrettably as the salary for this role falls beneath this, you will not be eligible for sponsorship therefore your application will automatically be rejected.

About the Role

You will work collaboratively with colleagues in UKSRO to support the dynamic needs of events across the university calendar, preparing presentations about your time at university and key tips for new students. As part of our recruitment activities, you will attend UCAS exhibitions and careers fairs across the country, promoting and representing Bath Spa University.

With our events team you will assist in the planning and delivery of key university recruitment events such as open days, offer holder days, campus tours and school visits whilst monitoring the effectiveness of your contribution and providing information to colleagues based on insights and learnings from your time speaking with prospective students.

You will also contribute to the planning, organisation and delivery of aspiration and attainment-raising outreach and transition programmes that support the University's effective Access and Participation Plan.

(This is a 18 Month Full Time Fixed Term Role)

About You

Having graduated from Bath Spa University in 2024 (or being due to graduate before September 2025) you will have recent administrative experience covering a wide range of activities/services and be confident in a customer facing role. We are looking for someone passionate about university recruitment and outreach, so experience working on events or supporting young people is important.

Being able to communicate clearly is key: you will need to be able to communicate effectively both internally and with external partners in a variety of mediums.

Our busy events diary can include weekend and evening work, as well as visiting schools not accessible by public transport, so a willingness to travel and a full UK driving licence are essential.
