Academic Administrative Assistant (MED423519)

The School of Health Sciences at the University of Nottingham, one of the four Schools in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, provides a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the fields of nursing, midwifery, physiotherapy, sport rehabilitation and for the allied health professions.

The School’s mission is ‘to provide excellent healthcare education and undertake outstanding research that inspires our students and staff to transform the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities and make an enlightened and valued contribution to society’.

The School is seeking to appoint an Academic Administrative Assistant to support the School’s academic team. This role will support the administrative workload generated by the timetabling process, and other educational academic focused processes such as the new apprenticeship courses.  The role holder will develop an expertise in supporting the development of the student timetable, by liaising with school academic and administrative staff, the University Timetabling Team, Student Services and external suppliers. In addition the role will co-ordinate and support other areas of teaching/academic support ensuring appropriate administrative support is given to academic colleagues in these areas. Whilst the initial focus will be very much on timetabling, the role will evolve over time and it is anticipated will be a key support to academic staff in the school. The role requires attention to detail and the ability to identify potential opportunities to enhance the student experience by ensuring efficient room use, streamlined teaching and accurate timetable content.  

This post is offered on a permanent basis. Hours of work are full time (36.25 hours). Job share arrangements may be considered.
