We are advertising for an Admissions Administrator within the Postgraduate Admissions Office (PAO), the office responsible for coordinating the admission of students to postgraduate courses at the University of Cambridge. The role is an exciting opportunity to work in a supportive and busy team in a central University office that provides a key service to all departments and Colleges, as well as to applicants from all over the world.
Admissions Administrators are part of the core PAO operations team. They play a key role alongside Administrators and Senior Administrators in issuing conditional offers of admission, processing documents submitted by applicants as evidence to meet offer conditions, confirming applicants' admission once offer conditions are met; and completing processing for students requiring visas.

The Admissions Administrator is responsible for:
- Accurate, efficient and timely processing of admissions tasks
- Researching their specialisms and sharing knowledge
- Communicating with diverse applicants and varied colleagues, and responding to questions
- Innovating to improve applicant experience and team efficiency
The Admissions Administrator will work closely and collaboratively with other members of the team, and with colleagues across the University. The successful candidate will have strong skills in completing complex, regular IT-based processes, including document checking, in desk-based research and knowledge sharing, in communication and customer service, and in flexible, collaborative and innovative team working.
Benefits of working at the University of Cambridge include:
- Competitive rates of pay with automatic service-related pay progression and annual cost of living increases
- Generous annual leave allowance
- Flexible and hybrid working opportunities
- Generous maternity, adoption and shared parental leave entitlement and other family friendly schemes (e.g. workplace nurseries)
