Programme Administrator

About the role

Join our dedicated team and play a vital role in supporting the smooth and efficient administration of the Faculty of Engineering & Design’s taught degree programmes. Working closely with both professional services and academic colleagues, you’ll help ensure an excellent experience for our students.

As part of a small, collaborative team, flexibility and teamwork are key. Your primary focus will be on assessment-related processes throughout the academic and student lifecycle, but you’ll also provide day-to-day administrative support for teaching, assessment, and student data management.

Key responsibilities include:

• Maintaining accurate student records on the University's database.
• Assisting with core assessment and progression activities across departments.
• Taking responsibility for the preparation and timely provision of accurate student assessment and progression data reports for the Faculty’s Boards of Examiners.
• Supporting Directors of Studies and liaising with external examiners.
• Responding to enquiries from students and academic staff.

If you’re organised, adaptable, and enjoy working collaboratively within a supportive environment, we’d love to hear from you.

About you

Our ideal candidate will have:

• A considerate team-focused mindset. Supporting colleagues and contributing constructively to a collaborative working environment.
• Excellent organisational and time management skills. Managing multiple tasks and deadlines with ease. Maintaining accurate records and tracking student progress.
• Strong digital skills. Comfortable working with university systems, and programme records. Confidence to quickly learn and embrace evolving digital platforms.
• Great communication skills. Engaging confidently with students, academic colleagues, and external stakeholders.
• A proactive approach. Taking initiative and working with autonomy when needed.

Experience in the use of university-specific software (e.g. Moodle, SAMIS/SITS, Business Objects and PowerBI) is desirable, though not essential, since training will be provided. Most important is an interest in our work, a willingness to become fully involved in both team business, and the life of the faculty and its departments.
