We are looking for a full-time Postgraduate Programme & Admissions Co-ordinator to join the Dental team in School of Dentistry, based at the Heath Park.

You should have substantial experience of supervising a team responsible for delivering a front-facing customer experience. There are some things that you must have before you can start this role (see 'essential criteria'), but other things can be developed through training and general on-the-job experience.  We want to support and develop you once you have started in the role, using a combination of the following:  Regular one-to-ones with your line manager and team meetings; an experienced and supportive team around you; support from other colleagues working in similar areas in the School; supporting you through job-relevant training and development that you may require; access to mentoring schemes and more.

The majority of roles at Cardiff University are currently operating under “blended working” arrangements, with staff having the flexibility to work partly from home and partly from the University campus depending on specific business requirements. Discussions around these arrangements can take place after the successful candidate has been appointed.

Please contact Fiona Kiely, KielyF@cardiff.ac.uk for an informal, confidential discussion about the role.
