An exciting opportunity is available for an enthusiastic and dedicated administrator to join the professional services team in the Peninsula Dental School (one of England's top Dental Schools), responsible for supporting dental students and academic staff throughout the student journey.

This is an opportunity to engage with students and support them whilst studying at university, playing a key role in facilitating the student experience journey by effectively communicating with students, academics, clinicians, and colleagues. The role will provide support to the Senior Programme Administrator in addition to line managing Admin Assistants and provide support across the team.

Programme administration duties will include maintaining student records and assessment data; helping resolve assessment issues; attending, organising and minuting meetings; updating programme documents and providing programme data as required. This is a diverse role that contributes to the delivery of a customer focused, efficient, and effective administrative support service which includes supporting academic staff with curriculum delivery, assessments, and supporting students across all postgraduate and undergraduate programmes within the dental school.

We are seeking an experienced, highly motivated, and well organised individual to take up the post of Programme Administrator to work in the Faculty Office Programme Administration team. You will have experience operating effectively as a member of an administrative team within a customer service environment.  A flexible and resilient attitude in an ever-changing and challenging environment will be vital.

You will need organisation skills, excellent IT skills (including spreadsheets and databases), the ability to be pragmatic and proactively solution-focused to seek resolutions to problems and can work within tight deadlines.  Good communication skills, minute taking, teamwork and data reporting are also essential.

Experience working in a medical or education function/environment (or equivalent) would be desirable.

The role will be based at the student-facing Faculty Office in the Portland Square building of the main University Campus, although occasionally travel to other sites (Derriford and Truro) will be required.  The office is shared between staff supporting Schools across the Faculty.
