About the Role

A further education provider is looking for an organised and capable administrator to support the smooth day-to-day running of its administrative functions.

You'll be the person who keeps records accurate, deadlines met and information flowing, working alongside colleagues across the organisation in a busy environment where no two days look quite the same.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Administering a range of administrative functions, including registrations, entries and results processing.
  • Maintaining accurate records and updating spreadsheets and systems on a regular basis.
  • Producing and issuing correspondence and joining instructions for learners.
  • Supporting colleagues with scheduling, meetings and general day-to-day administration.
  • Handling queries from staff, learners and external contacts, escalating where appropriate.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Strong administration experience
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • A good level of digital literacy, including Microsoft Office
  • Good organisation, planning, multitasking and time management skills
  • Ability to work to tight deadlines and under pressure
  • Confidence handling sensitive information accurately and discreetly

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Previous experience within an education or training setting
  • An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service

If this role sounds like the right fit, we'd love to hear from you — apply today with your CV.
