Course Administrator

We are seeking to appoint an outstanding course administrator to join our dynamic team.

The Department of Education has approximately 700 postgraduate students and normally admits around 450 new students every year.

The role sits within the Academic Programmes Team. The team works closely with the Academic Teaching Team to provide high quality, academic-related services to the Department’s graduate student community from admission through to course completion. This role in particular will provide academic administrative support for one or more of our taught postgraduate programmes.

An ideal candidate would be a self-starter with experience in the administration in a higher education context and ideally with working knowledge of Oxford University. We are looking for someone with excellent organisational and interpersonal skills combined with a friendly and approachable disposition. This is a busy office and a close-knit team, so an ability to juggle multiple tasks and remain calm and professional at all times is crucial.
