Your skills and attributes for success
Senior Admissions Administrators play an important role in enhancing communication with applicants, enquirers and other stakeholders through all stages of the application cycle and therefore having experience of working in a professional and customer-focused environment is essential.
You must enjoy working in a team environment within a busy customer-focused office and be able to work independently.
Attention to detail, excellent communication skills, a friendly and enthusiastic approach to customer service as well as being highly organised with the ability to prioritise are essential.
A background in Higher Education would be useful but is not essential.
