Position Overview & Specifications
Full Time, Permanent - Professional Ser
We are looking to recruit a number of enthusiastic Assistant Administrators to provide support across the ‘Academic Administration’ and ‘Partnerships and Placements’ teams. You will undertake a wide range of administrative activities, for example - responding to email enquiries, searching for information online, taking notes at meetings, organising events and updating documentation. You will interact with placement providers, students, applicants and visitors and work closely with other administrators and lecturers. Roles are available at both our Headington and Harcourt Hill campuses and we have full and part time roles to fill. You should feel comfortable working to deadlines and without constant supervision; you should have good attention to detail, a positive approach to customer service and have solid IT skills. Previous experience in an office or customer facing environment would be an advantage, along with a familiarity with MS Office (Word and Excel) or Google Workspace (GMail, Docs and Sheets) but full training will be provided. Our Headington campus has very limited parking but our Harcourt campus has plenty (daily parking fees apply) and the 400 Oxford Bus Company ‘Park and Ride’ service runs between the Harcourt, Headington and Wheatley campuses every ten minutes. It also stops at the train station and in Oxford city centre on the way, which means getting to any of our campuses is really easy. For more information about all the benefits of working with us please see the document ‘All About Brookes’ below.
