Education Administrator (Taught Programmes)

We’re looking for a brilliant and proactive Education Administrator to support the administration and delivery of Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programmes across the Faculty of Life Sciences.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone keen to develop their skills and build a rewarding career within the new FLS Education Administration and Student Experience (EASE) team.

You'll be an organised and student-focused individual and play a key role in managing the academic cycle, from induction and timetabling to assessments and exam boards, while providing responsive support to students and staff. You’ll work closely with academic leads to ensure smooth programme delivery and may also contribute to student engagement activities such as socials, field trips, and open days.

There’s also scope to support improvement projects using Excel and Power Apps, and to collaborate across the wider team when needed.

If you’re proactive, detail-oriented, and passionate about supporting students, we’d love to hear from you!

This is a hybrid role. Flexibility is essential, as there will be peak periods, particularly around student-facing activities, when increased on-campus presence will be required.

We will consider applications to work on a part-time, flexible and job share basis wherever possible.

This appointment is subject to UCL Terms and Conditions of Service for Research and Professional Services Staff. Please visit https://www.ucl.ac.uk/human-resources/conditions-service-research-teaching-and-professional-services-staff for more information.

This role does not meet the eligibility requirements for a Skilled Worker Visa certificate of sponsorship under UK Visas and Immigration legislation. Therefore UCL will not be able to sponsor individuals who require right to work in the UK to carry out this role.

This is a dynamic and varied position where no two days are the same. You’ll have the opportunity to work independently, plan your own workload, and make decisions, while being fully supported by your Education Coordinator and the wider team. Flexibility and adaptability are key, as the role involves a broad range of activities and can respond to rapidly changing priorities.

You’ll be part of a highly supportive environment, with access to training and development opportunities to help you grow your skills across your chosen areas.

You’re a proactive, solutions-focused individual with strong organisational skills and an excellent eye for detail. You’re confident working both independently and collaboratively, and you bring a positive, patient, and professional approach to everything you do. Strong communication skills are essential.
