HE Recruitment Lead
The Worx Academy @ Dance City, Newcastle (powered by SCL)
Help launch something that changes lives. We're opening a brand-new BA (Hons) Musical Theatre at Dance City, the North East's national dance house, and this is the role that fills it. For every young performer who applies, this course is the start of a career on stage. For us, getting these first cohorts right turns a bold idea into a thriving Higher Education business, and you'll lead the recruitment that makes it happen.
You'll own the application target end to end: shaping the strategy, opening doors with schools, sixth forms and colleges, and winning the trust of learners and parents directly. You'll host auditions, taster days and open evenings that end with a clear invitation to apply, give honest guidance on the course, UCAS and student finance, and build a warm pipeline that never lets a lead go cold.
We're looking for someone with a track record in HE (or comparable) student recruitment who knows the UCAS cycle and consistently beats targets, is equally strong at building institutional relationships and converting families, and is happy to get out across the North East, some evenings and weekends included. A feel for the performing arts is a real plus.
In return: purpose-led work where every application matters, a competitive salary plus a performance-linked incentive scheme, the rare chance to build a degree from scratch, strong benefits for you and your family, and outstanding progression as our HE offer grows.
Come and build the start of someone's career on stage.
