We are seeking a confident, organised and experienced individual to join our team as a Practice Education Administrator, supporting the Department of Health Sciences in the placement of its students across a range of clinical organisations and environments. You will be engaging with teaching staff across the Division of Nursing, and external placement providers for both our undergraduate and apprenticeship students.

The purpose of the role is to deliver excellent operational support that would provide a positive learning experience to our students prior to, during and following their off-campus practice education activities. Additionally, the role involves reviewing and improving our existing processes to deliver these aspects of their degree programmes more effectively and efficiently.

Key elements of this role include working closely with a Practice Learning Coordinator to deliver the various requirements of any practice (placement) based activity (e.g. DBS or immunisation checks for students) and recording appropriate student activity.

Prospective candidates should possess significant administrative and operations-based experience which may include planning, co-ordination and customer service responsibilities, working as part of a small team and demonstrating initiative to resolve problems. A background in Higher Education is not necessarily required, however, an understanding of complex processes and experience of process re-design, evidence of successful stakeholder management and a positive approach to customer service are essential.

We are looking for candidates who can successfully demonstrate:

• The ability to develop and maintain positive working relationships with colleagues
• Excellent IT and technical skills across a broad range of packages
• A demonstrable track record of providing a high-quality administrative support service, obtained from any industry or sector
• Excellent organisation, time keeping and team working skills
• Strong communication skills, alongside the ability to converse on complex subjects with a wide variety of stakeholders
• The ability to prioritise your own workload under minimum supervision
• Demonstrable evidence of CPD

For informal enquiries and to discuss the role in more detail please contact Lauren Thorpe, Student Health Partnerships and Placements Manager via email at Lauren.Thorpe@brunel.ac.uk

We offer a generous annual leave package plus discretionary University closure days, excellent training and development opportunities as well as a great occupational pension scheme and a range of health-related support. The University is committed to a hybrid working approach.

Closing date for applications: Sunday, 16th April 2023 (midnight)

Interviews will take place on 28th April 2023 in person
