The Role
You will provide high-quality administrative support across the full student journey, from enrolment through to graduation.

You will have excellent organisational and communication skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities. You’ll be confident working independently, using your initiative to resolve issues and improve processes, while escalating where required. Experience in administration is essential, ideally within a higher education or student‑focused environment. Strong IT skills and attention to detail are also key.
