The University of Buckingham has a unique atmosphere, unlike that of any other higher educational institution. Despite being the UK’s smallest university and the only independent university to hold a Royal Charter, Buckingham has staff from over 25 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 Academic Services department is the cornerstone of the University. It provides essential and valuable support to both academic and student services 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 are seeking a motivated Quality Administrator to help maintain robust quality processes across the University, ensuring programme data, documentation, and regulatory requirements are managed accurately and consistently.

Reporting to the Deputy Head of Academic Services - Quality, you will help support updates arising from course validations and contribute to key sector timelines including LLE implementation.

In this role, you’ll ensure data is correct, consistent, and audit-ready, working closely with colleagues across the institution. You’ll help manage documentation, carry out routine checks, and keep our quality processes running smoothly.

This is an excellent entry point into quality assurance and higher education administration, with full training provided on all systems and procedures.
