We are looking for someone with excellent organisational, IT and communication skills, as well as someone who is capable of analysing complex data to produce evidence-based recommendations.
You will be expected to provide specialist administrative support and act as a first/named point of contact for internal and external stakeholders. You will work effectively and flexibly within a wider administrative team in a busy environment to deliver an excellent, customer-focused and seamless service. You will promote the consistent and correct application of processes, systems and codes of practice ensuring compliance with internal and external regulation. The role requires a flexible individual with strong communication skills, administrative experience in Higher Education with excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage a diverse workload.
