Business Administration Apprentice - Level 3

The University of Buckingham is among the fifteen smallest in the UK and is rightly proud of its distinctive features, namely: it is the only private University in the UK with a Royal Charter; secondly, it pioneered the first accelerated (two-year) degree; and finally, it provides students with a personalised learning experience through its small-group academic tutorial system and exceptional pastoral care provision.

This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and self-motivated Apprentice to provide administrative support to our busy and friendly Academic Services Team. This is a front-facing role, involving regular contact with staff and students, and offers a valuable opportunity to learn about university academic administration in a supportive environment.

Academic Services provides essential services for its students and staff, and our Apprentice will play a key role in the smooth day-to-day operation of the following areas:

• Student data management
• Producing official documentation for students and alumni
• Supporting Academic Services events
• Meeting Organisation and note taking

The successful candidate will be a confident communicator, able to work both independently and collaboratively, and keen to learn. You will need to be conscientious and well organised in order to manage a varied workload of administrative responsibilities while completing a Business Administration Level 3 Advanced Apprenticeship (equivalent to 2 A levels). Your Apprenticeship training will be undertaken together with our other Apprentices (joining at the same time) and delivered by our Apprenticeships Manager, so there will be lots of support available.

Please refer to the Job Profile for more details about the key responsibilities of this role.

This is a full-time role, ideally starting as soon as possible, and initially employed on an 18-month fixed term contract, based at the University’s Buckingham campus. Your qualifications must include Maths and English GCSE Grade A*-C / 9-4 (or equivalent).
