Your role

We are looking for a Student Engagement Officer to support the work we do with students. You will be working in a small, fast-paced environment to help recruit 100 high-potential students that will form our founding 2021 cohort.

Day to day, you will be expected to assist in the design and delivery of sessions in schools as well as other events, including in-person and online Q&A sessions, Discovery (Open) Days, and webinars.

You will also be expected to maintain the school calendar and manage communications with schools. This will include liaising with teachers to arrange visits, data entry, and developing networks.

Another important part of the role is building long-term relationships and guiding students through the application journey. This will include facilitating workshops and meetings to help students understand if LIS may be the right choice for them.

You’ll also have the opportunity to work with other areas of LIS - for example helping to run our innovative admissions days and supporting students on our Pilot programme.
