Senior Assistant Academic Registrar (Maternity Cover)

The New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling (NSPC) is looking for an organised and confident Senior Assistant Academic Registrar to join our registry team for approximately 15 months, covering maternity leave.

NSPC is a small, friendly postgraduate school based at the Existential Academy in West Hampstead, London. We offer doctoral, masters and professional training programmes in psychotherapy, counselling psychology, coaching, pastoral care, autism and neurodivergence, delivered in academic partnership with Middlesex University.

This is a varied role at the heart of our academic administration. You will organise and chair early stage progression vivas for doctoral students, and take minutes for our ethics boards. You will also support students through the ethics process and coordinate student complaint and disciplinary hearings. Alongside this, you will look after our online learning environment: setting up Moodle units each term, registering tutors and students, and arranging Zoom sessions for teaching and supervision.

We are looking for someone with experience of administration in higher education or a similar academic setting. You should be confident taking accurate minutes, chairing meetings and using Moodle or a similar platform. Above all, we want someone courteous and helpful who enjoys being part of a small, busy team.

Contract: Full time, fixed term for approximately 15 months, starting December 2026 or as soon as possible after that.

Salary: Grade 5, £34,827 to £37,357, depending on experience.

Location: In person at the Existential Academy, West Hampstead.
