PUBLIC SECTOR: Bournemouth Uni seeks comms head

Bournemouth University’s pro-vice chancellor Richard Conder is on the hunt to fill the top communications job in the university, which includes PR, marketing and external relations. This will be a replacement for Louise Cretton, who left last year. Conder, to whom the role reports, has been caretaking the role since Cretton’s departure, but now wants to bring in a heavyweight to take charge of the university’s profile among students and potential employers and bring a fresh touch to its communications and PR.
