About Education Services

Education Services focuses on the lifecycle of Cranfield University's students and all of the associated academic procedures and processes.  The department’s strategic objectives are to provide a professional and efficient service to the University's Schools which requires engagement at all levels within the Schools, and close liaison with other central service departments to provide a coherent student experience.

The Quality Assurance and Enhancement Unit within Education Services has two primary functions: to develop, embed and manage appropriate quality assurance systems and processes to ensure the proper and diligent maintenance of high academic standards; and to ensure that the University’s corporate systems are populated appropriately with the current academic portfolio and infrastructure, to ensure that other operations across the PSU can function effectively.

About the Role

The successful applicant will be joining a friendly and supportive team, committed to improving the quality of the student experience. You will be responsible for proactively managing quality assurance work relating to the specialist interpretation and validation of data and the Senate Regulations and Handbooks in order to ensure quality control of specialist academic administration.

About You

You are likely to be an experienced, self-motivated HE Coordinator, with working knowledge of University Regulations. We will consider applicants with transferable experience. You will have excellent verbal and written communication skills, be able to prioritise and manage your own workload, working quickly and accurately to meet deadlines. Proven analytical, problem solving and decision-making skills are a must.
