Senior Course Administrator (International Courses and Projects)

Oxford University Department for Continuing Education (OUDCE) is seeking to appoint a Senior Course Administrator that will be responsible for the administration of a number of schools for international students and bespoke courses.

About the role

We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Course Administrator to join the Professional and Open Access Courses team in the Department for Continuing Education.  You will be responsible for the administration of a number of spring and summer schools for international students, and bespoke courses and events run throughout the year. You will also be responsible for our Oxford Teachers' Academy professional development courses run in collaboration with OUP.  You will also support colleagues working on other international courses and projects.  You will be expected to work throughout the summer and to attend weekly evening and weekend events between June and September.

About you

You should have a solid background in student administration, with excellent organisational and time management skills.

You will be experienced in the preparation and delivery of residential summer schools for international participants, as well as short courses and other events. You will have considerable experience of coordinating events in person and responding to queries by email, as well as face-to-face and over the phone.
