Postgraduate Admissions Administrator
The Faculty of History has an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic individual to join our Postgraduate Team office as Postgraduate Admissions Administrator. You will join our friendly and supportive Postgraduate team in a role focussing on postgraduate admissions.
This is a varied role working alongside the MPhil Teaching and Examining Administrator and PhD Administrator supporting students and staff through the postgraduate admissions process.
The Faculty of History's 100 academic staff constitute one of the largest and best history departments in the world. Over 100 MPhil students each year take one of the Faculty's eight MPhil programmes, and there are around 300 PhD students. We are looking for a flexible, resourceful individual who has excellent communication skills and meticulous attention to detail. Experience of working in a Higher Education environment would be desirable but more important is the ability to learn new skills and develop a knowledge of University/Departmental policies in order to be able to offer advice to others as required.
You will be organised and be able to prioritise your own workload, manage tight deadlines, and work independently using your own initiative, but you will know when to refer matters to others. We are looking for someone who will be able to contribute actively as a member of a team, and will build positive working relationships within the Department and University.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an individual with excellent administrative experience to develop new skills in a varied and busy position and to excel in this important role.
