The Department of Computer Science has an excellent opportunity for a Graduate Studies Administrator to provide high-quality administrative and organisational support to the Student Administration team on a permanent basis, to start as soon as possible.
Reporting to the Head of Student Administration, you will be based within the student administration team and will have the opportunity to build up a high level of expertise on graduate administration policies and procedures. This knowledge will enable you to confidently provide accurate advice to academics, current, and prospective students. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build a career in University administration. You will be dealing with graduate admissions, as well as on course progression and funding of graduates. The workload is varied and demanding, requiring first class judgement and attention to detail. The Academic Administration Assistant provides support to this post and general help from the wider student administration team is available during busier times.
The successful candidate should have a good degree, or equivalent combination of administrative experience and qualifications. You will have previous experience of working in a busy, high volume administrative role requiring exceptional attention to detail and organisation skills, together with the ability to work to and meet deadlines and schedules. You must have excellent communication skills in order to liaise with a diverse range of people, both internally and externally and of varying levels of seniority, together with proficient IT skills in MS office and the ability to learn new systems. You should have the ability to work independently, with minimum supervision, and a willingness to resolve situations, as well as knowing when to refer issues to others. You should have experience of working in a cross-functional team environment and you should be numerate, with the ability to analyse complex information, workflows and processes and provide relevant suggestions for improvement. Prior experience of working in a university environment is highly desirable.
