Faculty Assistant

The University of Buckingham is among the fifteen smallest universities in the UK and is rightly proud of its distinctive features, namely: it is the only private, not-for-profit University in the UK with a Royal Charter; secondly, it pioneered the first accelerated (two-year) degree; and finally, it provides students with a personalised learning experience through its small-group academic tutorial system and exceptional pastoral care provision.

Due to an increase in students in the research and apprenticeships area, the Faculty of Business, Humanities & Social Sciences is looking to recruit a fulltime Faculty Assistant to join a busy team based on our Hunter Street campus. Due to the need to initiate workloads very quickly, the successful candidate should have a strong understanding of HE and/or FE settings, ideally currently or recently employed within the sector.
