Collaborations Administrator

SALARY & HOURS: £27,650 / full time (35 hours per week) 

The University of Buckingham has a unique atmosphere, unlike that of any other higher educational institution. Despite being the UK’s smallest university and the only independent university to hold a Royal Charter, Buckingham has staff from over 60 countries, making it a truly distinctive work environment.  Whichever of our locations you find yourself working in, you will be sure to feel a part of our friendly community.  Our size enables us to foster a very personalised, supportive, inclusive, and collaborative environment, with lots of opportunity for development, something of which we are very proud. 

The Corporate and Professional Services departments are the cornerstone of the University.  They each provide essential and valuable support to both each other and the Academic departments, helping the University to function in the most efficient and productive way, ensuring that the students’ experience is second to none.

Situated in the Collaborations Department, this role is key in providing administration to the collaborations team and working with The University of Buckingham Faculties and Collaborative Partners.
