The SELCS Professional Services team provides a wide range of administrative support to facilitate the delivery of teaching and research activity. The team comprises 15.5FTE which is broadly split between two functions, Teaching and Student Support, and Operations.

They will have excellent communication skills, with written and spoken English at native-speaker level and the ability to use an appropriate tone according to different situations.

They will be a good team player, with an ability and willingness to work both collaboratively within a team but also independently when required, and have the ability to multitask and work productively in a busy environment where interruptions can occur frequently.
