Full-time maternity cover starting 16th February 2026 and fixed term for 12 months (or the earlier return of the postholder).

We are looking for an experienced Programmes Administrator who is an enthusiastic team player with good attention to detail, has excellent communication and organisation skills and is confident in using a number of IT packages, including Microsoft Office.

As part of a dynamic and friendly team supporting students in the School of Social Sciences and Humanities, duties will be varied, including coursework and exam administration, email communications, involvement in events such as induction, graduation and visit days, and being the first port of call for programme queries. Our Programmes Administrator's play a key role in providing the very best admininistrative support in a busy student-facing office environment.

This is a great opportunity to be part of the Loughborough Family and to make a positive contribution to providing an outstanding service to our students and staff.
