Casual Digital Admissions Support in Reading

We are looking for 9 Digital Admissions Advisers to join our team on a casual basis between 28 July 2025 and 17 October 2025 to support with our main student enrolment period. Prior to these dates, you will be given 2 weeks of paid training to prepare you for the role, starting from 14 July 2025. We have an exciting opportunity available within our Contact Centre at our Reading College campus, offering up to 37 hours per week.

In this role, no two days are the same. You will be joining our established team of friendly advisers to ensure we deliver and maintain an exceptional service to all customers, offering a first point resolution to customers over the phone and through enquiries. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is interested in expanding their skills in customer service and administrative support within the education sector, as well as a range of transferrable skills.

You may not have considered using your skills in this way before, so this could take your career and experience in a new direction and may also present opportunities longer term, to provide you with a varied and fulfilling career path. While this is only a temporary contract with Activate Learning, we are likely to have permanent positions become available in the new academic year and would welcome applications for these so you can continue your journey with us.

While contracts will be up to 37 hours per week, there will also be the opportunity for overtime depending on the team's capacity.
