Higher Education Engagement Co-ordinator, Lindsay Campbell-Cribb, explains what makes Unite Students such a great place to work.
Lindsay Campbell-Cribb Higher Education Engagement Co-ordinator
Before I joined Unite Students, I used to work for a recruitment agency and Unite Students were a client of mine, so I used to help them recruit staff. I always found everyone I met to be very friendly and welcoming, and I liked what the business stood for. I liked the ambition it had at that time to be more than just an accommodation provider and to actually think about they could do for the students/university stakeholders over and above that provision. When I saw a job come up with them that I was interested and I didn’t hesitate in applying – and I still very much enjoy working at Unite Students seven and a half years later. It’s now a very different business to the one I joined, but in all sorts of positive ways.
I’m a Higher Education Engagement Coordinator, which means I look after all of the conference and hospitality activity we do as an HE Team. I also coordinate all of the HE Comms activity we do, liaise with our University stakeholders to arrange meetings and undertake research/write reports when needed. My role is very varied and busy role and I get to interact with colleagues from all over the business, as well as external stakeholders, and the office environment is welcoming, friendly and fun – even though everyone is always busy.
It’s a fun, fast-paced office environment and there’s a great atmosphere in the office and people genuinely get on. The senior leadership are very approachable and friendly, and very much operate an open door policy. They encourage employees to take responsibility for their careers, and will support your development, which makes it a dynamic and innovative company who genuinely care about their employees, and values their thoughts and ideas.
