Education Administrator (Research)

About us

The Faculty of Life Sciences (FLS) Education Administration and Student Experience (EASE) team is made up of five areas: Clinical, Programmes, Research, Learning Technology and Student Wellbeing & Casework. The team is led by three Education Managers and supported by Education Coordinators across the teams.

We are seeking a proactive and highly organised Education Administrator (0.5 FTE) to support the administration of Doctoral Training programmes across the Division of Biosciences. This role offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with Graduate Tutors, central UCL teams, and external partners to deliver a high-quality student experience. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone keen to develop their skills and build a rewarding career supporting postgraduate research students.

This is a varied and impactful role requiring excellent organisation, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities. You’ll be part of a supportive team and have access to training and development opportunities to grow your skills.

Working Arrangements
This is a hybrid role with a minimum of 3 days onsite (pro rata). Flexibility is essential, as there will be peak periods, particularly around student-facing activities, when increased on-campus presence will be required.

We will consider applications to work on a part-time, flexible and job share basis wherever possible.

This appointment is subject to UCL Terms and Conditions of Service for Research and Professional Services Staff. Please visit https://www.ucl.ac.uk/human-resources/conditions-service-research-teaching-and-professional-services-staff for more information.

You’ll be part of a highly supportive environment, with access to training and development opportunities to help you grow your skills across your chosen areas

About you

This is a dynamic and varied position where no two days are the same. You’ll have the opportunity to work independently, plan your own workload, and make decisions, while being fully supported by your Education Coordinator and the wider team. Flexibility and adaptability are key, as the role involves a broad range of activities and can respond to rapidly changing priorities.

You’re a proactive, solutions-focused individual with strong organisational skills and an excellent eye for detail. You’re confident working both independently and collaboratively, and you bring a positive, patient, and professional approach to everything you do. Strong communication skills are essential.
