Job Description
About Middlesex University: We exist to transform our students’ lives and strengthen local communities at our campuses in north London, Dubai and Mauritius. With nearly £1 billion annual economic impact in the UK and 98% of our London students from underrepresented backgrounds, we prove that our excellent, multi-disciplinary education makes a significant and measurable impact. From training the healthcare workforce keeping London healthy to supporting creative industries shaping global culture, our work serves our communities and creates opportunities for all.
The role: We are looking for two exceptional storytellers to help us share this impact with the world. As one of our PR & Faculty Communications Officers, you'll work as a strategic partner with one of our academic Faculties to showcase our academic excellence, research impact and student experience, strengthen our reputation, and build trust with the audiences that matter most. Working alongside our Senior PR & Communications Manager, you will craft compelling narratives for traditional and digital platforms—from media stories and opinion profiles student profiles and opinion.
You'll work proactively with academics to develop communications plans and identify stories that will make us stand out, including to journalists and prospective students. These roles offer genuine variety and creativity. One day you might be creating digital content that positions Middlesex as the go-to voice on a topical issue, the next you could be speaking to our alumni about a personal story. Along with your assigned Faculty, you'll work closely with teams across our Student Recruitment, Marketing and Communications area.
Who we are looking for: You're a skilled writer with strong news instincts and proven experience in PR or journalism and communications. You understand what makes a story compelling and how to adapt it for different platforms and audiences. You are confident advising senior stakeholders, able to manage competing priorities, and genuinely excited about using communications to drive positive change. Most importantly, you believe in what we do and want to help us demonstrate how we're making a difference at Middlesex. If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
We are unlikely to sponsor a visa for this role as it is below the salary threshold for a Skilled Worker visa.
