  7. Interact with and update relevant Faculty/University systems.
  8. Be a contact point for internal and external queries (using VOICE) and information storage and retrieval for a number of modules.
  9. Be an adaptable, responsive and fully participating member of the team; undertake a variety of duties and work practices as required by the Line Manager.
  10. Undertake a range of administrative tasks as directed by the Curriculum Support Team, such as respond to emails, liaise with other areas of the University and externally as required, be willing to organise meetings and other events such as tutor briefings; manage mailings and ensure that appropriate arrangements are followed up.

The role could also include elements of the following:

  1. Monitoring external websites for instances of inappropriate inclusion of OU content etc.
  2. Assisting with copyright applications, maintaining complete records of all copyright applications and associated costs.
Other expectations
  1. Co-operate with the Open University in ensuring as far as is necessary, that Statutory Requirements, Codes of Practice, University Policies and Departmental Health and Safety arrangements are complied with.
