Academic Office Assistant
We are seeking an Academic Office Assistant to join our academic team. This key student-facing role supports the comprehensive academic journey of our students, from admission through to graduation, while maintaining the highest standards of service and administrative excellence.
About the Role
The postholder will work collaboratively within the Academic Office team to provide essential administrative support across three core areas: student administration, admissions, and graduation services. Key responsibilities include managing student documentation, coordinating academic events, supporting the admissions process, and ensuring smooth delivery of graduation ceremonies. The role requires evening and weekend work during key periods such as Matriculation and graduation ceremonies.
This position offers excellent opportunities for professional growth and development. There is scope to develop knowledge in academic administration, while working alongside experienced colleagues in the Academic team.
About You
You will bring strong interpersonal skills and a sympathetic nature to this student-facing position, alongside proven administrative capabilities. Essential qualification A levels, BTEC ND, NVQ Level 3 or equivalent and/or significant work experience at a similar level, demonstrated experience in team-based working and proficiency with Microsoft Office applications. Experience in higher education administration and handling confidential information would be advantageous.
Deadline: 12 noon on Tuesday 18th February
Academic posts
Post-Doctoral (or equivalent) Associate Common Room Members
Category B (Launching HT25)
By virtue of association with a Fellow of the College or other academic connection with the College’s interests and themes.
Agreement to membership is discretionary, with applications reviewed by college committee. If granted, membership will be for two years and is non-renewable, so as to allow for a turnover in membership and extension over time across a wide number of post-doctoral employees (or employees at an equivalent standing in departments, such as lab managers) in differing fields.
Opportunities for membership within this category will be advertised to members across the University (for example, through the Researcher Hub) and, where possible, applications review in a gathered field. Applications must be supported or nominated by a GB Fellows and/or President of the College and supporting evidence must cite the mutual benefit expected by the association, for example in engagement with theme or strategic area activities by virtue of the applicant’s academic specialism. In assessing applications the relevant college committee will give due consideration to achieving a reflective balance of the College’s interests, and ensuring a broad range of membership. Membership would be contingent on continued holding of a postdoctoral (or equivalent – normally with PhD or in Grade 7+) post at the University and would be offered on a non-renewable basis, so as to ensure that the benefit of associate membership is not restricted to a relatively static cohort over time.
Deadline: 27 January 2025
