The Role
Are you a customer-focused administrator who is ready to play a vital role in delivering first-class student-facing services? Join us at UAL as an Information and Helpdesk Officer, where you will become an essential part of a dedicated team providing outstanding support to our student community.
Working across our Student Services Helpdesks, you will be the first point of contact for a wide range of enquiries from prospective, current and former students, as well as staff and external organisations.
Whether in person, over the phone, or online, you will deliver a professional, welcoming and informed service, directing queries to the appropriate specialist teams when needed. You will offer general guidance and initial advice on key matters such as student finance, international immigration, and support issues, helping students to access the assistance they need.
Beyond your front-line support duties, you will also provide administrative support to the Student Advice Service team. This will involve organising appointments, data entry, case-management and statistics and ensuring our information materials are up to date.
About you
We are looking for someone with previous experience of providing reception or administrative support in a fast-paced environment, ideally within a caring profession. In addition to this, you will have previous experience of supporting services that ensure confidentiality, discretion, and inclusivity.
You will also bring knowledge of student support issues in Further and Higher Education, including an understanding of student finance, immigration, and support services. Drawing on your strong interpersonal and communication skills, you will also be adept at dealing with people, some of whom may be in distress.
