You'll support students throughout their pre-placement journey, monitor placement readiness requirements, maintain accurate records and work closely with academic colleagues, placement providers, and professional services teams to ensure placements run smoothly.
This is a varied role where you'll balance competing priorities, respond to student enquiries, produce reports, and contribute to improving our placement processes. You'll play an important part in helping students begin their professional placements with confidence.
We're looking for someone with experience in administration, student support, or a customer-facing environment who has excellent organisational skills, strong attention to detail, and the ability to build positive working relationships. You'll be confident using Microsoft 365 and other digital systems and committed to delivering an excellent student experience.
Experience of higher education, healthcare education or placement administration is desirable but not essential. If you have transferable skills and enjoy working in a collaborative, fast-paced environment, we'd encourage you to apply.
