The Role: We are looking to recruit a Professional Services Administrator in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. The role is a permanent position, and the first assignment in the role will be to support both the faculty’s student mobility programmes and our international student recruitment. This first assignment will last at least 12 months.

Core aspects of the assignment are likely to include:

• Working collaboratively with the Placements, Mobility and Student Engagement Manager, providing administrative support to all student/staff mobility activities, both incoming and outgoing, through all stages of the exchange programme – set up, pre-arrival, on course and exit arrangements.
• Assisting in effectively welcoming incoming students through inductions and welcome events, as well as being a point of contact for all incoming exchange students.
• Working collaboratively with the Associate Dean (Global Engagement) on marketing campaigns for overseas students, administrative support for meetings and events and administrative support for partnership agreements.
• Collating and presenting data to assist with decision making at the Faculty Executive, Global Engagement and Recruitment and Marketing Committees, e.g. course recruitment profiles.
• Producing regular reports on application status and registration in order to inform the Faculty’s Recruitment and Marketing Strategy.

After the initial 12 months, a combination of the business’ needs and the role-holder's own development aspirations will be used to determine future assignments and responsibilities.

We operate a hybrid working policy, typically 3 days in the office and 2 days working from home.
