This is a joint role to support the effective programme and placement delivery.

The successful candidate will form part of the Faculty’s Taught Programmes team, ensuring that services are efficient, effective and adapt to changing circumstances.

About you

Applicants for this post should have previous experience of working in an administrative role. 

You will:

• need to work closely with other team members, academic colleagues and students from across the world, so effective communication and customer relation skills are needed.

You should have good digital literacy, with a proficiency in Word and Excel and the ability to learn use of database systems.

While experience in the use of University-specific software (Moodle, SAMIS/SITS and Business Objects) is desirable, it is not essential as full training will be provided.
