As the Student Recruitment and Outreach Manager, my role is to manage a passionate team of outreach and student recruitment professionals to build lasting relationships with schools and colleges. I insure we have an innovative offering of outreach and student recruitment activities that engage, inspire, and inform a range of ages.

I work with local schools delivering activities aimed at encouraging young people to find out more about higher education. This includes working with under-represented students and supporting them to consider higher education as a future option. I deliver events both on-campus and in the local community, including workshops, presentations, and interactive information sessions. I also represent Hartpury at career fairs and UCAS events.

I work with schools and colleges nationally to inform prospective students and their parents about the wide range of college and university options available, both generally and specifically at Hartpury. I visit schools and colleges to deliver talks that help students understand their pathways into further and higher education. Alongside this, I attend careers fairs, UCAS events, and mock interviews, whilst booking and coordinating taster days and campus tours.
