We are looking for an enthusiastic and self-motivated individual to join our Taught Programmes Team in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences as a Programmes Administrator.

This will include day-to-day administrative support for teaching, assessment and student data management activities as well as the administration of programme related events, like Open Days and Applicant Visit Days.
You should have previous experience of working in a busy administrative role. Attention to detail is important, as is the ability to manage a busy workload with conflicting priorities.

You should have strong computer skills, with sound proficiency in Word and Excel and the ability to learn the use of database systems.
We care about student and staff wellbeing, delivering excellent service and University reputation. If this approach resonates with you and you are a good team player who also enjoys working independently and taking the initiative, we would welcome an application from you.
