The Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences is seeking to appoint an energetic administrator to help deliver innovative opportunities which engage students in preparing for their futures careers. The post is an important part of supporting our students to achieve their full potential as well as contributing to our lively and diverse campus life.

We are looking for someone with experience of administration and preferably employability and student engagement in the Higher Education sector.
