Admissions and Outreach Coordinator in Cambridge

Do you like working with a wide range of people, have excellent interpersonal skills, are extremely well organised and love the idea of a varied role where you can directly impact student experience? If your answer is yes, then this could be the ideal position for you. We are looking for a full-time Admissions and Outreach Coordinator to join our Admissions team.

Contract: Permanent, Full-Time

Salary: £26,343 to £26,818 per annum

Closing date: Monday 6th July 2026 at 9.00am

In any given week, you could be helping to organise a college transition day, contacting schools to offer outreach workshops, answering parent enquiries, liaising with the support team about a particular applicant, or working through student data to support the next stage in the applicant journey. The role is extremely varied, and there is a genuine opportunity to contribute your experience and ideas.

We have established the foundations of a growing Outreach and Widening Participation Programme, which we are keen to develop further. Experience in this area, or in a related role such as careers, enrichment, or student engagement, would be beneficial but is not essential. More important is a genuine interest in extending opportunities for young people, an understanding of the potential barriers they may face, and enthusiasm for helping to shape and grow this area of the College’s work.

In return, we offer great team‑work and a varied workload, an attractive salary, 24 days annual leave rising to 27 days after 5 years’ service, plus bank holidays, generous pension scheme, free use of our on‑site sports centre, including a newly refurbished gymnasium, wellbeing activities, discounts on all our Adult Education courses, free onsite parking, cycle to work scheme and ongoing professional development.

The successful applicant will need a full UK driving license, as travel to schools across the region is part of the role, for which mileage expenses are paid. Preferably, you will also have access to your own vehicle. This role reports to the Head of Admissions. Hybrid working is possible, with a minimum of three‑days per week required on site.

To apply, please complete Parts 1 and 2 of the application form. When completing Part 1, you will be required to upload your CV and a Supporting Statement of Application. Once you have submitted Part 1, please proceed to Part 2 (Equality and Diversity Monitoring).
