The successful candidate will bring proven experience and current knowledge of Higher Education Funding, within a customer-facing office environment. Ideally you will have experience of working with Postgraduate Research Funding administration.

We are seeking individuals who thrive in a dynamic team setting, enjoy engaging with and supporting a diverse range of people, and demonstrate a flexible, customer-focused approach.

  • Team player with experience in large organisations, able to support colleagues flexibly.
  • Adaptability to evolving systems, platforms, and processes.
  • Flexible, responsive, and customer-focused, with excellent communication skills.

This is a fast-paced role that requires resilience, initiative, and a commitment to delivering high-quality service in a changing environment.
