Print Services Officer in Leicester

Thank you for your interest in this post at WQE. We believe that this is a particularly exciting time to be joining us, offering a real opportunity to make a difference in this thriving and vibrant Sixth Form College. We strive for excellence in all aspects of our work with students; their academic and wider achievements, their learning experiences, the support they receive in their academic progress, their learning environment and their wider experience of College life.

The College operates across two closely located campuses, next to the University of Leicester on University Road and a smaller campus at Regent Road. The Print Service sits at the heart of the Central Administration Team, where no two days are ever the same. As a vital part of the team, you’ll play a key role in supporting the smooth running of the college by contributing to the planning, coordination, and delivery of events and day-to-day activities across the academic calendar.

The Central Administration Team brings together several key functions, including the Executive Leadership Portfolio Assistants, Curriculum Admin and Cover Administration Team, Reception, and the Print Centre. In this dynamic environment, you’ll report directly to the Central Administration Manager and be part of a collaborative team dedicated to delivering exceptional administrative support across the College.

In your new role as Print Services Officer, you will take the lead in operating large printing machines to provide a prompt, high-quality central printing and reprographics service. You will work closely with staff and students to understand their printing requirements.

As part of your role, you will manage the purchase of paper and maintain appropriate stock levels of printing supplies. You will also liaise with the Estates team to coordinate the collection and delivery of printed work and support colleagues by delivering training on machine operation and related admin processes. Additionally, you will handle quotations for private printing work. This is a varied and hands-on role, perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in delivering excellent service.
