We are currently seeking an enthusiastic Marketing Coordinator to join the University's Student Recruitment Marketing team on a temporary basis, supporting the delivery of creating multi‑channel marketing activity during a key period. This role pays £18 per hour.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Marketing Coordinator who thrives in a busy environment and wants to contribute to meaningful, high‑profile campaigns within the higher education sector.

The Role

As Marketing Coordinator, you'll play a hands‑on role in delivering end‑to‑end marketing activity that supports student recruitment and engagement.

You'll support campaigns across the following:

• Digital marketing (web and social media)
• Online and printed advertising
• Publications and campaign collateral
• Third‑party aggregators
• Press, PR, and event marketing support

You'll also contribute to research and reporting, analysing marketing data to identify insights, trends, and priorities, and supporting the ongoing optimisation of processes and plans.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver marketing and communication activities in line with agreed marketing plans
• Coordinate and implement activity across digital, print, and paid channels
• Liaise with internal stakeholders and external suppliers (designers, printers, agencies)
• Conduct research and analyse quantitative and qualitative data, producing clear reports
• Maintain accurate marketing plans, records, and process documentation
• Support budget monitoring and routine financial administration
• Contribute to wider student recruitment initiatives, events, and open days

You'll ideally have:

• Proven experience in a Marketing Coordinator or similar role

• Confidence working across teams and with external suppliers
• Experience using digital marketing channels and campaign delivery
