JOB TITLE: Faculty Administrator

SALARY & HOURS: £28,650; 35 hours per week to include ad hoc evenings (Mon-Fri)

The University of Buckingham has a unique atmosphere, unlike that of any other higher educational institution. Despite being the UK’s smallest university and the only independent university to hold a Royal Charter, Buckingham has staff from over 60 countries, making it a truly distinctive work environment. Our size enables us to foster a very personalised, supportive, inclusive and collaborative environment, with lots of opportunity for development, something which we are very proud of.

The Corporate and Professional Services departments are the cornerstone of the University. They each provide essential and valuable support to both each other and the Academic departments, helping the University to function in the most efficient and productive way, ensuring that the students’ experience is second to none.

Due to the increase in students in the research and apprenticeships area, we are looking to recruit a part-time Faculty Administrator to join a busy team based on our Hunter Street campus. Due to the need to initiate workloads quickly, the successful candidate should have a strong understanding of HE and/or FE settings, ideally currently or recently employed within the sector.

Duties will include:

• Delivering administrative processes across the Faculty as determined by the Faculty Registrar.
• Delivering front-line administrative services within their allocated domain or cohort.
• To support senior administrative staff to maintain necessary resources for delivery of the curriculum and to liaise with academic staff as necessary.
• To provide support to students across the faculty.
• To liaise with University’s Student Services and Student Administration Teams to ensure students are correctly signposted to services.

The post also demands knowledge of MS Office 365, strong customer service and communication, interpersonal and presentation skills, analytical and problem solving capability, understanding of University structures and systems as well as Apprenticeships, together with an ability to contribute to service and policy development.

Knowledge of eVision/SITS would be advantageous although full training will be given.
