Academic Administrator (Graduate-entry Medicine)

Further to a reorganisation of professional services roles in the School of
Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, we are seeking three highly efficient and
capable administrators to become members of the academic administration team
in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. These posts provide an
excellent opportunity to develop a career in University administration.








The Academic Administrator (Graduate-entry Medicine) will assist the Senior
Academic Administrator (Graduate-entry Medicine) with the administration of
Years 1 and 2 of the Graduate-entry Medicine programme. This will include
organising teaching for Graduate-entry medical students, assembling course
timetables, making arrangements for incoming students, allocating students to
clinical placements, revising and updating course information, and organising
clinical examinations (OSCEs) and computer-based examinations. The post holder
will also assist with the administration of recruitment events and admission
of students to the course. There will be some areas of work for which the post
holder will have primary responsibility.





The Graduate-entry Medicine programme is an accelerated course for graduates
in applied or experimental sciences, with 35-40 students in each course year.
Teaching and examining is provided by a large number of academic and/or
clinical staff, drawn from clinical and non-clinical departments across the
Medical Sciences Division. Students also attend clinical placements in partner
NHS Trusts, and in primary care settings. As the responsibility for teaching
and examining is shared across multiple University departments, as well as the
partner NHS organisations, the organisation of the course is complex.








The successful candidate for this position will have the ability to work
systematically and to a high level of accuracy, with excellent attention to
detail. They will have strong administrative and organisational skills, and
will have the ability to manage a broad workload in an efficient manner. They
will need to be willing and able to work harmoniously as a team member within
a culture of academic leadership, as well as to work independently and to take
the initiative to find solutions to problems, or to progress key tasks. They
will have an excellent standard of computer-literacy, and will have the
ability to handle numerical data with confidence and accuracy.





As an employer, we genuinely care about our employees’ wellbeing and this is
reflected in the range of benefits that we offer including:



• Employee Assistant Programme (EAP)



• An excellent contributory pension scheme



• 38 days annual leave



• A comprehensive range of childcare services



• Family leave schemes



• Cycle loan scheme



• Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans
