"Teaching and Learning Coordinator"

The Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology is now recruiting a full time, permanent Teaching and Learning Co-ordinator who will support the smooth running of the undergraduate Teaching office.

This is an interesting and varied role with a high level of interaction with our students and staff. The post-holder supports the work of the Department's Teaching Office, co-ordinating all key areas of undergraduate student administration including course teaching on our Tripos, events, examinations, maintaining course-related Moodle sites and dealing with general enquiries. A key duty will be to act as Secretary to a number of committees ensuring the interface between Department and University committees and administrators.

While the post reports directly to the Department Administrator, the post holder will work closely with the Head of Department and Deputy Head of Teaching. The ability to be a team player is important, and showing empathy when supporting student delivery is vital.

The successful candidate will be educated to degree level or equivalent level of practical experience and be competent with standard software packages e.g. Word, Excel and Outlook, as well as with databases and online programmes. Excellent communication, organisational and planning skills are required with a proactive and flexible approach to your work. Experience of working within higher education in a related area or previous experience within the University of Cambridge would be an advantage.

The role will involve limited evening / weekend / bank holiday (May) work during the examination periods and at other busy times, such as the start of the academic year.
