"Admissions and Enquiries Assistant"

The University of Buckingham has a unique atmosphere, unlike that of any other higher educational institution. Despite being one of the UK’s smallest university and the only independent university to hold a Royal Charter, Buckingham has staff from over 60 countries, making it a truly distinctive work environment. Whichever of our locations you find yourself working in, you will be sure to feel a part of our friendly community. Our size enables us to foster a very personalised, supportive, inclusive and collaborative environment, with lots of opportunity for development, something which we are very proud of.

The Corporate and Professional Services departments are the cornerstone of the University. They each provide essential and valuable support to both each other and the Academic departments, helping the University to function in the most efficient and productive way, ensuring that the students’ experience is second to none.

We’re seeking an Admissions and Enquiries Assistant to support the Admissions teams in our applicant journey. This role will provide support to application processing, document and student records management, and work with the Marketing Assistant to triage inbound enquires to the University from prospective students and applicants.

This role is based within Admissions in the Marketing team, working closely with Faculty Admissions teams, the wider Marketing team and colleagues from across the University to provide an excellent applicant experience to our prospective students.

We know that sometimes people can be put off applying for a job if they think they can’t tick every box, but we are invested in our people and their development, so we encourage you to apply if you believe you have the majority of the skills and experience required and are keen to develop further!
