Plymouth, United Kingdom Plymouth University Full time

An exciting opportunity is available for an enthusiastic and dedicated administrator to join the professional services team in the Peninsula Dental School (one of England's top Dental Schools), responsible for supporting dental students and academic staff throughout the student journey.

We are seeking an experienced, highly motivated, and well organised individual to take up the post of Assistant Administrator to work in the Faculty Office Programme Administration team. This is a diverse role that contributes to the delivery of a customer focused, efficient, and effective administrative support service which includes supporting academic staff with curriculum delivery, assessments, and supporting students across all postgraduate and undergraduate programmes within the dental school.

This is an opportunity to engage with students and support them whilst studying at university, playing a key role in facilitating the student experience journey by effectively communicating with students, academics, clinicians, and colleagues. This role will provide support to the Programme Administrators and Senior Programme Administrator within the team.

Administrative responsibilities include timetabling postgraduate teaching sessions; maintaining student records and assessment data; helping resolve assessment issues; attending, organising, and minuting meetings; updating programme documents, and providing programme data as required.

We are looking to appoint someone with administrative and customer service experience who enjoys working as part of a team with the ability to work within tight deadlines. You will need excellent organisation skills, excellent IT skills (including spreadsheets and databases), and the ability to be pragmatic when finding solutions to problems. Excellent communication skills, minute taking, and data reporting skills are also essential. A flexible and resilient attitude in an ever-changing and challenging environment will be vital. Experience working in a medical and/or education environment (or equivalent) would be desirable.

The role will be based at the student-facing Faculty Office in the Portland Square building of the main University Campus, although occasional travel to other sites (Derriford and Truro) will be required. The office is shared between staff supporting Schools across the Faculty.

There is an essential requirement within this role that you will be required to travel to and work at different University sites and/or other business locations that may not be easily accessible by public transport. Please refer to the job description for further information.

Please demonstrate how you meet the essential criteria outlined in the knowledge, qualifications, training and experience elements of the job description in your supporting statement.

This is a full-time position working 37 hours per week on a permanent basis. Job shares are not suitable and will not be considered for this position.

Interviews are likely to take place week commencing Monday 13 March 2023 and you will be notified if you have been shortlisted or not.

We offer a competitive salary package and a generous pension and holiday scheme. We also offer a range of other benefits, including ongoing development opportunities.
