About Sarum College

The College’s location in Salisbury Cathedral Close means that Sarum’s community of learning is infused by a strong sense of history, and it is an attractive place to work. The learning includes: Undergraduate and Postgraduate ministerial formation for lay and ordained ministries validated by the University of Durham Common Awards programme; Postgraduate and PhD study validated by the University of Winchester; Spiritual Direction courses; and a lively and varied short course programme.

Formal education programmes at Sarum are delivered through residential, online and blended learning patterns, which combines online learning and tutoring through Zoom and residential teaching at College. The postgraduate Winchester programmes are blended with an intensive teaching week running for each module from a Mon-Thurs. Spiritual Direction has all three delivery patterns depending on the cohort. Each of the modes are effective and offer flexibility for our students, which relies on supportive communication, usually email and phone, and careful administration.

Our staff team works closely together, and we are looking for a colleague who will support the Postgraduate and Spiritual Direction teams and students in organisation and administration, bring fresh perspective and join in our desire to see every student grow and develop in their learning and growth.

The successful candidate will bring an eye for detail, particularly in adhering to academic regulations within the University of Winchester parameters and in keeping student records, but also in maintaining and implementing Sarum’s own educational policies. They will communicate with University of Winchester staff, with prospective and current students, and with a number of other stakeholders related to both the Postgraduate and Spiritual Direction programmes.

This is a varied and interesting role, being a representative of the College and working closely with colleagues.
