Liaison and Recruitment Officer

We are looking for a highly organised and proactive Liaison and Recruitment Officer to support the delivery of UCL's student recruitment activity, with a particular focus on student engagement. You will coordinate our Student Ambassador Scheme, enabling impactful peer-to-peer interactions between prospective and current students. This includes overseeing recruitment, training, deployment and ongoing support of ambassadors, ensuring they are equipped to represent UCL across a wide range of activities-from open days and school visits to digital platforms. You will also lead on the coordination of campus tours, ensuring an excellent visitor experience across in-person, virtual and self-guided formats. Alongside this, you will respond to prospective student enquiries, contribute to recruitment events, and support the continuous development of our outreach and engagement activity. This is a varied and collaborative role, requiring close partnership with colleagues across UCL, including faculties, the Students' Union and widening participation teams, as well as external stakeholders. Please note, this is an internal recruitment advert, available to eligible UCL workers only. The role is offered on 12-month fixed term/secondment and hybrid working basis where the postholder will be based in our Bidborough House office for a minimum of 1-day per week.

You will bring experience of working in student recruitment, higher education or a related field, alongside a strong understanding of the UK HE landscape. A confident communicator, you are comfortable engaging a wide range of audiences and building effective relationships across diverse communities. You will have experience of working with student ambassadors or similar groups, and an appreciation for the value of peer-to-peer engagement in influencing student decision-making. Highly organised with excellent attention to detail, you are able to manage multiple priorities and deliver activity to a high standard within agreed timelines. You are equally comfortable working independently and as part of a team, and take a proactive, solutions-focused approach to your work. Above all, you will share UCL's commitment to inclusion, collaboration and delivering an outstanding experience for prospective students.
