As part of the Faculty Academic Administration team, the role holder will work closely with other support functions including Faculty Quality, SITS Support and other Course Administration teams to support academic colleagues in delivering an outstanding student experience from admission to graduation.

What will you be doing?

You will support the operational administration of the curriculum via the SITs student records system. Using this data, the team will oversee the administration of core student processes including timetabling, allocation and Course Blackboard set up.

To excel in this role, you will have an understanding in the management of data, and the use of standard operating processes and procedures to achieve planned targets.

There will be a requirement for the successful candidate to be 100% office based whilst undergoing full training.
