As one of the UK’s smallest universities, we are ideally people-centred and agile: students and staff alike are names, not numbers.

All members of the Academic Services department work flexibly to support each other and therefore this role holds opportunities for gaining a wider range of experience in academic administration.

As part of the Academic Services department the postholder will carry out all necessary administrative duties to support the maintenance of student records, including module registration, programme enrolment and fee records, in order for Academic Services to deliver a professional, customer-focused service which supports students, academic staff and professional services through the provision of accurate data and contributes to an excellent student experience.

The successful candidate will have experience of managing multiple administrative tasks in busy education setting, accurately using a student records system and with competence in using MS Office applications. The candidate should put the customer experience at the forefront of their delivery, with excellent communication and organisational skills.
