Director of International Student Recruitment
Post Ref: 522
Croydon College (a Further Education College with one of the largest Higher Education provision in the UK) is entering the international market with provision starting from January 2014.
The College has undergone recent and substantial improvements in the quality of teaching provision and the educational environment including a £64 million capital development.
We have an ambitious and pragmatic Governing Body and Executive Group committed to developing a significant and vibrant cohort of international students.
The College recently opened the University Centre Croydon in recognition of the College’s high quality Higher Education provision. This was marked by a visit by the TRH Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.
All of our degree programmes (except LLB) are awarded by the University of Sussex (ranked 13th in the UK and 110th in the world by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2012/13).
While Croydon has had some recent challenges, the immediate future is extremely promising as a place to live, work or study. There are plans to develop an upmarket Westfield shopping centre (including a John Lewis) and there are many redevelopment and regeneration projects within the borough.
Croydon has excellent transport connections:
Central London – 10 minutes
Gatwick airport – 15 minutes
St Pancras International – 32 minutes
Stratford International – 49 minutes
Heathrow airport – 74 minutes
The College is seeking to initially provide English language qualifications, foundation level, full-time three-year degree and fast-track two-year business BA (Hons) programmes. Further Education level provision is envisaged to be delivered from 2014.
An outline business concept has full management support and we are looking for an exceptional individual to develop, deliver and grow the proposition.
It is an exciting role with huge scope and autonomy to shape how we recruit and deliver international activity. The post reports to the Chief Operating Officer and would be remunerated at circa £50k (negotiable depending on experience) plus 37 days annual leave and final salary pension scheme. The post would have 0.5 FTE administration support initially with further investment in posts depending on the final business plan.
