• Make travel and accommodation arrangements, process conference registrations, and manage Purchase Orders (POs)
• Service departmental meetings - prepare agendas, circulate papers, take minutes, and follow up on action points
• Support event planning, particularly during busy periods in May (e.g., booking rooms and logistics)
• Manage office supplies, filing systems, and assist with office moves
• Build relationships with other internal departments and respond with initiative and judgement
• Ensure compliance with university policies, procedures, and confidentiality requirements

• Excellent interpersonal and customer service skills, with a professional approach
• Strong written and verbal communication, including minute-taking and formal correspondence
• High attention to detail and the ability to prioritise and multitask effectively
• Confident IT skills with the ability to quickly learn internal systems (e.g., MS Office, Outlook, SharePoint)
• Ability to work collaboratively with both academic and professional services colleagues

As an Education Administrator you will be supporting academic and professional services staff and therefore this role is ideal for someone who enjoys structured support work and thrives in a calm, professional, and team-oriented environment.
