This is an exciting opportunity to join the Recruitment, Outreach and Events (ROE) team, working on everything from on-campus residential events through to primary school campus visits.
Working across all teams in the ROE department, you will travel to schools both locally and nationally to promote Higher Education and the UEA; contribute to the success of on-campus events, and deliver presentations to a variety of audiences, both in person and online.
