The Opportunity

The Prospective Student Web Content Team manages all central website delivery for Prospective Students and works with colleagues across a range of academic and service sectors to continually enhance students’ online experiences. This role provides critical editorial and service support to keep our online presence up to date and help non-expert colleagues get the most out of our web publishing systems.

Your Skills And Attributes For Success

• You need to commit to the discipline of content design. We are looking for people who have a talent for words and a desire to learn. Joining a dedicated team of content experts will bring new opportunities and require editorial discipline. It’s less about content creation and more about content production.
• You need to be open to learning about our customers. We don’t expect you to be an expert in human-centered design, but you do need to be careful that the content you design actually works. Be willing to engage in user research and analytics to truly understand and meet student needs.
• You need a collaborative mindset. We work as a multidisciplinary team, so you need to be willing to collaborate and support colleagues across the university. We have experts from many disciplines – both academic and administrative – and need their help to meet editorial standards.

• An exciting, positive, creative, challenging, and rewarding place to work. We support you, develop your skills, and reward success.

• If invited for an interview you will need to provide proof of your right to work in the UK. More information is available on our Right to Work web pages.
• The University is unable to sponsor the employment of international workers in this role. International applicants will therefore be unable to apply for and obtain a skilled worker visa. They will only be able to take on this role if they can demonstrate an alternative right to work in the UK.
• The closing time for applications is 11:59 pm GMT unless otherwise stated. If you are applying from outside the UK, the closing time on our adverts is automatically adjusted to your browser’s local time zone.
