Student Enrolment Advisor

🎓 Student Enrolment Advisor

Organisation: FourthRev (via peopleworth Employer Group)
Type: Full-time
Location: Remote (UK) – Manchester, Leeds, London, Coventry, Edinburgh, Birmingham

💼 What This Role Actually Is

This is consultative sales in education.

You’re not just answering questions. You’re guiding prospects through an enrolment journey and converting them into paying learners. Targets will matter. KPIs will matter. Activity volume will matter.

If you don’t enjoy sales, this isn’t for you.
If you like helping people make big career decisions and hitting numbers — it could be strong.

🎯 Core Responsibilities

You’ll:

• Manage inbound leads through phone, email, and video

• Guide applicants end-to-end through enrolment

• Use CRM systems to track pipeline and optimise conversion

• Hit enrolment targets through structured contact strategies

• Communicate programme value clearly and persuasively

• Maintain accurate records and data integrity

• Encourage referrals

This is structured, metric-driven work.

🧠 What They’re Really Looking For

Minimum 3 years in a dedicated sales role. That’s not accidental.

They want someone who:

• Has hit revenue targets before

• Is comfortable in high-value consumer sales (education fits this well)

• Can handle objections

• Stays resilient when prospects ghost or delay

• Works independently without supervision

If you’ve done recruitment, course sales, SaaS, training programmes, or finance sales — transferable.

⚖️ Reality Check

Pros:

• Fully remote

• Clear progression in a growing EdTech space

• Strong skill development (sales + CRM + consultative selling)

• Performance culture (good if you’re competitive)

Challenges:

• Target-driven pressure

• Rejection and follow-up persistence required

• Fast-paced pipeline management

• Accountability for numbers

This is not a “soft” student support role. It’s commercial.

🧭 Strategic Career View

This role builds:

• High-value sales experience

• Pipeline and CRM expertise

• Remote commercial discipline

From here you could move into:

• Senior enrolment / team lead

• B2B partnerships

• Account management

• EdTech growth roles

If your long-term goal is commercial leadership, this is useful.

If you’re trying to escape sales pressure, this will frustrate you.
