Apply now

Welcome

Thank you for your interest in this opportunity with us here at University of Gloucestershire.

We are a university entering an incredibly exciting chapter, with our new multimillion pound campus opening in the heart of Gloucester this September, and significant investment from the Office for Students enabling state-of-the-art Cyber facilities at our Cheltenham campus being just two examples.

Great facilities are only part of the picture, as our real focus is on people – our students, staff and partners. We are a university which is large enough to offer something for everyone, yet small enough to make agile decisions and move at pace.

We are based in a vibrant, well connected and beautiful part of the country which is surrounded by leading employers and organisations such as GCHQ, who we work with to ensure our graduates flourish in their future careers.

So, we have all the ingredients for our new Head of Marketing, Digital and Brand to really make a difference and shape our future, maximising on opportunities to grow and diversify our student community.

About the opportunity

Reporting to myself, the Head of Marketing, Digital and Brand is a senior role central to building on and further developing our brand and offer, thereby increasing our reach and profile.

Driving our brand narrative, working with academic colleagues on market ready course provision, analysing market data and ensuring we maintain excellent customer service to our applicants throughout their journey are all core parts of the role.

You will also be a strong leader who inspires others to think innovatively, find solutions and work collaboratively across the university.
