You will also promote campus life and activities to current students and colleagues, in addition to many other diverse projects across our Cornwall campuses, and the wider University that you will have an opportunity to support and gain experience in. You will do this primarily across social media and the web, but within an inclusive team across multiple media, and you will support them where necessary. This is an interesting opportunity for a highly organised individual with excellent written and verbal communication skills, who has the ability to communicate effectively with a wide variety of people in a professional manner.

You must be organised and be able to plan, be confident to present knowledge and expertise to others, be self-motivated and use initiative to find solutions / deliver on task, and have the ability to build relations, learn quickly and to motivate and generate enthusiasm in others. You should also have experience of utilising digital tools such as email, social media, website, blogs, videos, have good working knowledge and broad experience of creating posts for social media, and have the ability to work effectively under pressure and to deadlines.
The Benefits to You - You will have access to a wide range of benefits, rewards and recognition from the University, including a generous pension, a holiday allowance of 39 days per year, Totum Card (student discount) and Salary Exchange Schemes (such as the Cycle to Work Scheme, and discounted membership to the university's sports facilities).
