**The Post**

The College is seeking to appoint a dynamic, enthusiastic and hardworking College Administrator to work in the Careers Department assisting the Work Experience Coordinator. The post holder will be required to support the Work Experience Coordinator advertising work experience opportunities, facilitating all necessary documentation for students to undertake work experience and liaising with external agencies, parents and students. The successful applicant will also provide general administrative support in the Careers Department and other areas of the college as required.

The post is available immediately on a permanent, part-time basis (16.46%). The post holder will be required to work 7 hours per week, term-time only, either on one day per week (with a 45 minutes unpaid lunch break), or two half days per week. Ideally one of those days will be on a Tuesday, but there is flexibility on which day(s) of the week are worked.

It is anticipated that the post holder will spend the majority of their time working specifically in the Careers area, but a flexible approach to working will be required according to demand and the time in the academic year.

The post requires excellent organisational and people skills. Previous experience of working with students aged 16-19 is desirable, but not essential. The post holder will spend a significant amount of the working day in a busy office environment and will be required to handle phone calls from parents and interested parties, as well as face-to-face interactions with students.

The post carries an expectation for some occasional mandatory evening activities (Open Evenings and Careers events). However, there are numerous optional opportunities for evening work (Interview Evenings for Students) should the post holder be interested in them for additional remuneration.

**The Department**

The Department is housed in a specially designed area of the Enhancement Building, which includes an open plan area for discussion with students, a breakout area and a careers office for one-to-one interviews with students. The Department also has access to a lecture space for visiting speakers.

The post holder will work closely with the well-established Department of four other staff, who work closely as a team in a friendly and co-operative manner.

**Salary**

The starting salary for this post is £3,755.02 (£22,813 FTE) per annum, rising by annual increments to £3,967.68 (£24,105 FTE).
