High Wycombe

Salary - £26,093 - £28,778

We’re not trying to fit in with the higher education status quo. We’re challenging it. We’re doing things differently – because our students, our staff, and our world need us to.

So this is an exciting moment to join us. We’re boldly reimagining what a university can be: a place rooted in social mobility, a community where difference is celebrated, and an institution that empowers people to become more than they thought possible.

The University is looking to appoint a Placement System Support Administrator. You’ll support Placement teams working across the University and in the College of Health and Society with the use of placement management systems such as InPlace and ePad. This includes data entry, documentation, scheduling, first-line user support, and routine communications with system users.

As the first point of contact for any queries relating to our placement systems, you’ll be responsible for delivering an excellent service underpinned by your knowledge of our systems, your ability to work collaboratively with others, and your attention to detail. You will help to ensure our systems are fit for purpose and meet the needs of the Placement teams, our students, and our partners.

What we offer:

a generous holiday entitlement (30 days per annum, plus bank holidays & closure days)
Hybrid working (dependent on business needs)
training & development support opportunities
contributory pension scheme
discounted gym membership for our on-site gym
a range of staff discounts with major retailers.

Please click here to view our employee handbook.

If you have the qualities and attributes representative of the University’s values and ambition, we would be delighted to hear from you.

For further information about this role please contact Claudia Smith Cox, Head of Practice Learning ([email protected])

All applications are to be made in full and online.

BNU is proud to have a diverse community and a strong track record of diversity, equity and inclusion. We are committed to promoting an inclusive and diverse workplace and aim to continue building an environment where everyone thrives and can be themselves. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in BNU’s workforce. These include people from global majority backgrounds, people with disabilities, and LGBTQI+ people, particularly in more senior roles.

Please let us know if you require any adjustments or support during the recruitment process. We are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments that would enable you to perform to the best of your abilities in your role. Please reach out to The People Team ([email protected]) if you have any specific needs or if you would like more information on how we can support you.

We ensure that our interview/shortlisting Chairs complete the relevant e-learning and/or inclusive recruitment training.

If you’re considering using AI to support your application, we encourage you to question the value it adds. The use of AI tools sometimes erodes authenticity and prevents us from being able to assess the real you. We strongly recommend you prepare your application using your own skills and knowledge and that AI is only used for the purpose of review.

Closing Date: 20 July 2026

Interview Date: 4 August 2026

If you are invited to interview for this role, you will need to provide evidence of your eligibility to work in the UK and if on a visa, current visa and status. Due to the salary for this post, we are unable to offer visa sponsorship to the successful candidate.

BNU is a Disability Confident employer and as such you will be given the opportunity to declare a disability as part of the application process.
