Providing expert guidance to Schools and Professional Services colleagues on enrolment processes, student records and best practice.
Delivering excellent customer service by responding professionally and efficiently to student and stakeholder enquiries throughout the student lifecycle.
Supporting the planning and delivery of enrolment-related activities and events, helping to ensure a smooth and positive experience for students.
This is a 6 month fixed term position, from October 2026 – March 2027.
What you’ll bring
Using your experience with complex information systems and databases, you'll analyse data with confidence, producing accurate reports, spotting trends, and identifying opportunities to improve data quality.
You’ll be an enthusiastic, friendly and highly organised team player with a passion for delivering excellent service. You’ll enjoy working with data and systems, have a keen eye for detail and be confident communicating with a wide range of stakeholders.
Additionally, you’ll bring:
Excellent written, verbal and numerical communication skills.
Strong organisational skills and the ability to prioritise workloads and meet deadlines.
Good ICT skills, including Microsoft Office applications such as Word and Excel.

A high level of accuracy, attention to detail and commitment to maintaining data integrity.
The ability to work independently, use initiative and respond professionally to changing priorities.
