THIS POST MAY ALSO BE OFFERED AS A SECONDMENT OPPORTUNITY

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced administrator to join the Faculty of English’s small, friendly administrative team as an Academic Administration Officer, covering the maternity leave of the substantive postholder. You will work as a member of the Academic Administration team to ensure the smooth and efficient running of the student-focused aspects of the Faculty’s work, both graduate and undergraduate, from dealing with potential applicants, through admissions and on-course enquiries to final examinations.

You will have strong organisational and IT skills, and be able to work accurately and independently and to be proactive in solving problems. You will be able to communicate clearly and appropriately with students and staff at all levels, and have a strong understanding of how to offer good customer service.
