Continuing education is currently one of the most exciting, prominent, and fastest moving fields in UK-based and global higher education. The University of Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education (ICE) is an established leader in the field, tracing its roots back to 1873.

We deliver high quality and distinctive educational programmes for adult learners, predominantly studying on a part-time basis, for either personal enrichment or professional development.

We aim to ensure that the expertise and resources of the University of Cambridge are made available to all students, irrespective of their previous educational achievements.

The teams sit within the Institute's External Engagement Division, which also includes the marketing and fundraising functions. We are a warm, supportive and fun team who look out for each other. You will find it a welcoming place to work

The Head of Student Recruitment and Admissions will lead the function strategy and will line manage the managers in the team to enable the achievement of strategic goals and objectives for student recruitment and admissions. You will oversee the function strategy, instil professional standards, and robust, reliable and transparent processes and ensure the best possible applicant experience lies at the heart of the integrated service.

Using HE/ FE sector policy knowledge and expertise in leading student recruitment and/or admissions functions, you will drive innovation through continuous improvement of high-quality and seamless prospective student journeys that fulfils the Institute's regulatory and legislative requirements.
