About the role

We are looking for a Course Coordinator to work in our Surgical Science and Practice Taught Course team. You will be based in the John Radcliffe Hospital, but you may be able to agree a pattern of regular remote working with your line manager. You will be responsible for all non-academic aspects of managing and administering the course, supported in the administrative component by a part-time course administrator. You will work closely with other members of the course team (course directors and course administrator) and liaise regularly with course faculty and students. You will have regular interactions with central university functions, such as Graduate Admissions and Academic Records, as well as with colleagues in the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences.

Your responsibilities will include managing and supporting the student journey (applications and admissions; support for enrolled students), managing examinations and assessments in accordance with university regulations, event management for taught modules, and financial management of the programme. During taught modules, you will be required to support the smooth running of the teaching week, which will require extended hours.

About you

The successful candidate will have significant experience within Higher Education or a comparable environment, including working in a student-facing role and with academic colleagues. You will bring strong business management experience, with confidence in handling financial information and processes. You will have excellent organisational, administrative and project management skills, with the ability to manage a complex workload independently. You will be a strong problem-solver, able to work collaboratively and communicate effectively with a range of stakeholders, demonstrating professionalism, discretion, and diplomacy at all times.

This full-time post is available from 1 August 2026 and is permanent.
