This is a busy and varied joint role between the Programmes and Placement teams to support the effective programme and placement delivery.

You will form part of the Faculty’s Taught Programmes team, ensuring that key assessment and teaching activities are delivered efficiently and effectively.

You will be part of the Faculty’s Placements Team, engaging operationally with all aspects of placement activity and providing specific administrative support to the placements operation for Pharmacy at Plymouth.

About you

• You should have previous experience of working in an administrative role.
• You will need to work closely with other team members, academic colleagues and students from across the world, so effective customer relation skills are needed.
