Join our team to help us promote studying in the USA and provide people in the UK with clear expert information about the benefits and process of applying to an American university and Fulbright awards to the USA.

The US-UK Fulbright Commission has been offering scholarships for people in the UK to study at US universities for nearly 80 years. Our focus is making sure that everyone is aware of Fulbright awards, especially those people who might not have considered applying for one before. A key part of our widening participation work is our Fulbright Champions, a growing network of advisors at UK universities who promote our awards and support students and scholars who apply.

The Commission is also home to the UK’s EducationUSA team, which offers a wide variety of information and support to people in the UK about studying in the USA. We know how many people are interested in choosing to study a degree at a US university, but clear, unbiased and accurate information can be hard to find. Our free services aim to support anyone in the UK who is interested in studying in the USA make their dreams a reality.

As an organisation, we are proud to help broaden prospective applicants’ horizons by showcasing all of the exciting opportunities at more than 4,000 US accredited universities and colleges.

As a Programme Assistant, you will be working across both of these programmes, supporting both the Awards and Advising teams to provide outreach; widening participation and informational activity for Fulbright awards; and support our advising activity about wider opportunities to study in the USA.

As the successful candidate, your work will be varied, from attending university fairs to meet with prospective students, answering individual questions coming in by email, to helping keep our network of Fulbright Champions up to date. Alongside running a lively webinar and in person event schedule, which you will be involved in promoting, you’ll also have the chance to help deliver events such as Champions workshops and USA College Day, Europe’s largest US university fair.

You’ll bring a passion for educational exchange to the role, and you will be organised and goal orientated, and be resilient in managing a busy workload and a changing external environment.. You’ll have some experience of event management and handling data, but also be passionate about helping people find their best fit or route. You’ll be able to inspire students while also anticipating questions or concerns they might have about applying for a Fulbright award or US study more generally.

Being able to demonstrate a strong commitment to diversity, inclusion and equity will be key and you will be excited about the opportunity to support people from diverse backgrounds.  You will have excellent interpersonal skills, need to be a strong team player and demonstrate excellent time management skills.

The US-UK Fulbright Commission is a not-for-profit organisation funded by both governments to promote educational exchange between the US and the UK. We offer exceptional opportunities for people interested in international education and who are committed to our mission and vision. New staff join a small and friendly team who are highly motivated, entrepreneurial and passionate about cross-cultural exchange.Our staff benefits include 29 days holiday (including 3 US holidays and 3 Christmas closure days) plus bank holidays, pension scheme (employer contribution of 6%), membership of an employee benefits platform, flexible working and excellent learning and development opportunities.
