We are the University of Cumbria, a place where people are at the heart of all we do, where enriching the lives of our students, staff and the communities we serve means we make a difference that really matters.
An exciting and challenging opportunity has arisen for an ambitious and results-orientated communications and engagement officer within the university’s corporate communications team with a focus on our Barrow development. You will be responsible for the coordination, promotion and successful delivery of high quality, customer-focused communications and events activity which will raise the profile and reputation of presence in Barrow amongst target audiences, forge beneficial relationships with a wide range of stakeholders and help build our brand locally, regionally and nationally.
This post would suit someone who is self-motivated, focussed, and who enjoys working in a fast-paced and constantly changing environment. Some flexibility in working hours will be required, as the post holder will attend events which may occur at evenings or weekends.
This role will be based in Barrow with an expectation of travel to other campuses and locations as required.
