You will become part of our friendly and supportive team, focusing on the teaching and examination administration elements of the MPhil courses. This is a varied role working to support students from application to final examination.
We are looking for a flexible, resourceful individual who has excellent communication skills and meticulous attention to detail. Experience of working in a Higher Education environment is desirable but more important is the ability to learn new skills and develop a knowledge of University/Departmental policies in order to be able to offer advice to others as required.
You will be organised and be able to prioritise your own workload, manage tight deadlines, and work independently using your own initiative but know when to refer matters to others. We are looking for someone who will be able to contribute actively as a member of a team and will build positive working relationships within the Department and University.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an individual with excellent administrative experience to develop new skills in a varied and busy position and to excel in this important role.
We look forward to seeing you explain in your application how you match the criteria for the post and why you are motivated to apply for this role.
Temporary cover: This post is fixed-term for 12 months or the return of the post holder, whichever is the earlier.
Applications are welcome from internal candidates who would like to apply for the role on the basis of a secondment from their current role in the University.
Once an offer of employment has been accepted, the successful candidate will be required to undergo a health assessment.
