Student Recruitment & Marketing Officer, Full-time (37 hours per week)
Some people prefer just routine and clear structure. Others enjoy more variety, people, and figuring things out as they go. If you’re in that second group, you’ll feel at home here.
The role
You’ll be speaking to a wide range of people, mainly school leavers figuring out their next steps, but also adults (young and old) looking to train, upskill, or learn for fun across our higher education and part-time courses.
You’ll work as part of the marketing team to support how we attract and engage students across the college.
In practice, a lot of your time will be spent working with local schools and supporting events, but you’ll always be part of the bigger recruitment picture.
Support, trust, and how we work
You’ll get proper support when you start - clear guidance, regular check-ins, and support from a team that wants you to do well. As you build confidence and trust, you’ll have more freedom to run with things and make the role your own.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you’ll be doing
- Talking to prospective students, parents, and schools in a way that feels natural
- Helping people understand their options and feel confident about their next step
- Representing the college at events, in schools, at other colleges, and on campus

- Working with colleagues across marketing, curriculum, and the wider college to make recruitment activity land well
- Spotting what could be improved and getting stuck in to make it better
The kind of person who does well here
You don’t need to tick every box, but you do need to be this kind of person:
- Reliable - you do what you say you’ll do
- Comfortable talking to anyone
- Proactive - you don’t wait to be told everything
- Someone who gets stuck in, even when it’s not strictly “your job”
- Quick to learn and apply what you pick up
- The kind of person others enjoy working with
