Applications are invited for two Faculty Teaching & Learning Helpdesk Officer posts supporting Teaching and Learning administration across the University’s Faculties.
Teaching and Learning administration at Royal Holloway is delivered through a central Student Administration function and Faculty-based Teaching & Learning Operations teams, which are part of the wider Student Journey Division. These teams are designed to provide a consistent and effective service to both students and staff.
The two posts will support provision across the following Faculties:
Faculty of Business and Law
- Royal Holloway Business School
Faculty of Science
- Biological Sciences
- Computing, Security & Mathematics
- Physical Sciences & Engineering
The Helpdesk Officers will develop a breadth of knowledge across Faculty and central processes and demonstrate a commitment to shared service standards. They will be expected to work closely with Teaching & Learning Operations teams, academic colleagues, the Student Services Centre, and colleagues across other academic and professional services areas.
The role holders will act as a first point of contact for student and staff enquiries, supporting a range of Teaching and Learning activities including the coordination and tracking of enquiries, provision of accurate information, and escalation of more complex issues where appropriate. This will include the use of systems to log, monitor and respond to enquiries, ensuring an efficient and consistent service.
The posts will also support key Teaching & Learning processes across the student lifecycle, which may include aspects of assessment, student records, and programme administration. The role holders will provide first-line information and support to students, including signposting to appropriate services where required, and contribute to the continuous improvement of helpdesk processes and service delivery.
The post holders will be able to work with minimal supervision and recognise when to seek guidance from senior colleagues.
Candidates should have excellent organisational skills and experience of working in an administrative or customer service environment. They should be able to demonstrate the ability to manage competing priorities, communicate effectively with a range of stakeholders, and work both independently and as part of a team. A commitment to delivering high-quality service is essential.
In return we offer a highly competitive rewards and benefits package including:
- Generous annual leave entitlement
- Training and Development opportunities
- Pension Scheme with generous employer contribution
- Various schemes including Cycle to Work, Season Ticket Loans and help with the cost of Eyesight testing.
