Global Mobility Officer (Partnerships Support)

Job description

About Us

The King’s community is dedicated to the service of society. King’s Strategic Vision 2029 sets out our vision for the future, shaped around five priority areas: educate to inspire and improve; research to inform and innovate; serve to shape and transform; a civic university at the heart of London; and an international community that services the world. Our ambitious Education Strategy sets out the actions that we must take to transform how we teach, how and where our students learn and how we support them during their time with us.

This is an opportunity to join a small, close professional services team supporting inbound and outbound travel through international partnerships in pursuance of the university’s Education and International strategies. The Global Mobility Office is a student and external-facing professional services team of eleven.

We are part of the wider Student & Education Directorate, a collection of wide-ranging professional services in place to support King’s students and their education. As a directorate we manage the student lifecycle from application to graduation and beyond, to ensure a coherent and seamless student experience and effective administrative processes, working closely with King’s faculties to do so.

About the Role

We are seeking to recruit a proactive and flexible team-player with excellent administration skills and an intercultural sensibility to support our dozens of international partnerships worldwide and the student opportunities resulting from them.

The role-holder will work with various professional services teams to provide guidance, support and direction to staff at King’s and at our partners negotiating, managing and implementing mobility partnership agreements. They will focus particularly on our European partnerships as we transition to new post-Brexit arrangements.

The role combines programme administration, student support and international relationship liaison. Although there are no direct line-report responsibilities, the role-holder is responsible for delegating relevant tasks to Global Mobility Peer Advisors, students returning from mobility who work with the team.

This is an exciting opportunity for candidates looking to apply skills and knowledge of student travel and university-to-university partnerships, and who wish to utilise their skills and expertise in support of the international student experience.

We encourage applications from candidates who have experience from both within and outside of the Higher Education sector where they can demonstrate the skills needed to succeed in this role.

This post will be offered on a temporary contract to the 31^st July 2023 in the first instance. There may be an opportunity to extend but this will not be known until nearer the time.

This is a full-time post, but we welcome applications from candidates seeking a flexible work pattern within our necessary service operating hours (10am-4pm).
