Job description:
The Role
This jointly funded post, reporting to the Study Abroad Center Manager, supports the organisation and development of the Loyola University, Maryland, Study Abroad Center and broader study abroad developments, working with the Newcastle University academic community and includes marketing Newcastle University as a study abroad destination. You will adhere to management arrangements agreed and monitored by the Loyola Office of International Programs and Newcastle's International Office.
You will undertake day-to-day activities and assist with the development of the Loyola Study Abroad Center, ensure appropriate support for its students, and contribute to wider Study Abroad developments at Newcastle University.
The arrangement envisages an exceptional level of support for Loyola students to ensure a high- quality experience for students during their time at Newcastle University. You will support and deputise for the Center Manager as the day-to-day contact point for these students and the focus for resolving issues of any kind directly or initiating actions to resolve them.
The Center offers Loyola students a suite of activities and trips throughout the academic year to enhance their study abroad experience. You will support the planning, organisation, and delivery of these, many of which run at weekends during term time and some evenings in the working week.
You will need to maintain a consistently high level of service to both internal and external stakeholders at all times, demonstrating sensitivity to cultural differences and the pressures under which other academic and support colleagues work.
You are expected to be a strong self-starter, working with minimal supervision from the Study Abroad Center Manager; someone who can determine your priorities with reference to only broad guidelines, and plan activities over the full recruitment cycle including managing the current year's registered students alongside recruitment activities for following years.
You will also support the wider Global Opportunities team with the application cycle for Study Abroad more generally.
For an informal discussion or further information please contact Grace Barker (grace.barker@newcastle.ac.uk), Loyola Study Abroad Center Manager.
