At Cleveland University-Kansas City (CUKC), we're on a mission to help students discover careers with purpose—starting with chiropractic and health sciences. We're looking for an experienced Admissions Recruiter who is ready to hit the road, inspire students, and walk with them every step of the way—from first question to first class.

If you have extensive experience in sales, recruitment, or education outreach—and you love meeting new people, presenting ideas, and driving toward a goal—this might be your perfect next move.
