Join us at Oxford Brookes University, where every step forward is a leap toward a brighter tomorrow.

The Role:

Oxford Brookes University is looking for a dedicated Global Mobility and Engagement Officer to join our Global Partnerships Team. This role will play a key part in enhancing the student experience by providing priority support and guidance on exchange and study abroad programmes, particularly for Turing Scheme-sponsored students. If you have strong customer service and administrative skills and thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment, we’d love to hear from you!

This is a full time, fixed term role for 8 months from 1st November with a possibility of extension until 31st August 2027 as per the Turing Scheme project cycle, with potential extension for another project cycle (12 months) depending on the Erasmus / funding outcomes of the following academic years.

What Will I Be Doing?

As a Global Mobility and Engagement Officer, you’ll support Oxford Brookes students in exchange and Turing Scheme programmes by:

- Coordinating Programmes: Manage applications, track data, and ensure smooth programme operations.

- Engaging Stakeholders: Work closely with university departments and partners to deliver seamless student experiences.

- Promoting Mobility Opportunities: Organise events, orientations, and communications to guide students and raise programme awareness.

- Ensuring Compliance: Oversee financial and crisis management protocols for outgoing students.

About the Team:

By unifying all marketing, communications, recruitment and engagement activity, the Marketing, Recruitment and Engagement Directorate makes a measurable difference to the experience of staff, prospective students, students and alumni. The Directorate is confident and ambitious, applying professional skills and expertise to make every contact count and to make a valued contribution to the University’s objectives.

About the Location:

Based at our Headington campus, you’ll experience the vibrant campus atmosphere and benefit from our modern office environment. The campus is one mile from the center of Oxford and is served by regular public transport. This role will be hybrid, and we expect there will be a requirement to be on campus 1-2 days on campus per week. However, for candidates residing outside Oxford and requiring a longer commute, more flexibility may be granted, and a suitable working pattern may be provided.

Benefits:

As an Oxford Brookes employee, you will enjoy a total of a minimum of 25 days' holiday, rising with your service, plus 8 Bank Holidays and additional University concessionary Days (approx 5 per year).

We encourage and support hybrid working where the role allows and ensure that you have the necessary equipment to allow you to work flexibly.
