Loughborough College is a progressive institution with world class partnerships, exciting investment plans, and students that go on to achieve international success. We are looking for someone to bring our vision and stories to life and there has never been a better time to join us.
Through the Leicestershire College Group, we are seeking a Head of Marketing, PR and Communications to be part of our Senior Management Group and report to our Director of Strategic Partnerships and External Relationships.
The Head of Marketing, PR and Communications will develop and deliver creative and multi-platform marketing strategies to help to achieve the Loughborough College objectives. You will lead the Marketing, Student Recruitment, Events, Design and Web Teams to develop and enhance the corporate brand of Loughborough College to maintain our position in the market as an outstanding further education, higher education and skills provider.
The successful candidate will have experience in marketing, PR and communications alongside being able to develop and sustain positive and proactive relationships with the media and briefing spokespeople, providing guidance on media handling and contributing to media training activities. You should have a strong track record in managing communications, a relevant degree and a Chartered Institute of Marketing qualification (or working towards) as well as advanced English skills, both written and spoken.
As front-line support for the CEO and Executive, you will be required to work flexibly and occasionally, unsociable hours, to support any response to identified events or issues. However, as a supportive organisation we ensure flexibility works both ways. The ideal candidate is dynamic, thrives under pressure and stays calm when faced with a challenge. This role would be joining a team who support each other to be successful in a fast paced environment. If this sounds like the role for you, the hiring manager is keen to talk to you and is available for an informal chat.
We are proud to have achieved the Investor in Diversity award. We actively encourage applications who are currently under-represented and where we are using positive action under the Equality Act. We welcome everyone to consider becoming a part of our journey.

- 35 days annual leave per year
- Additional annual leave available
- Fantastic CPD and inclusive resources for development

We offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, agile working, staff forums, staff working groups for sustainability, staff steering groups for Investors in Diversity and support services to support with mental health and wellbeing for staff from different backgrounds. We are and have consistently invested in providing our learners and employees with an outstanding and unrivalled range of modern facilities and resources.
