Description

ABOUT US

UCL is a radically different university. Founded in 1826 in the heart of London, we were the first university in England to welcome students of any religion and the first to welcome women on equal terms with men. Today UCL has over 40,000 students and 12,500 staff and is one of the world’s top 10 universities. We have a culture of promoting diversity and sustainability and 30 Nobel laureates among our current and previous alumni.
Ranked 7th in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2025 by subject, and with 85% of our research graded 4* and 3* in the recent Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021), UCL Arts & Humanities is recognised globally for both its teaching and research excellence. Alongside traditional arts and humanities departments (English, Philosophy, Greek & Latin, and the School of European Languages, Culture & Society (SELCS)), we are also proud to host Arts & Sciences, European & International Social & Political Studies (EISPS), Hebrew & Jewish Studies, Information Studies, the Slade School of Fine Art, the School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES) and many interdisciplinary programmes as part of our Faculty.

ABOUT YOU

The successful candidate will be educated to GCSE standard or equivalent with experience of administrative work in a busy office environment. Applicants will be able to demonstrate good organisation skills, with an ability to prioritise and organise their own variable workload, and be able to use their good interpersonal skills to interact effectively and regularly with a wide range of staff and students. Clear written and verbal communication skills, combined with good computer skills and a working knowledge of the MS Office suite of applications (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, etc), are also key requirements of the role. Experience of providing administrative support in a Higher Education (HE) setting, including the use of student records systems and virtual learning environments, are desirable.

Responsibilities

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Faculty of Arts and Humanities are recruiting for up to three full-time Education Administrators (Taught Programmes) to support particular areas of our taught programmes portfolio (primarily UG but also including some PGT programmes). These positions are available from 1st September 2025.
The postholders will provide specialist administration to designated taught degree programmes, ensuring effective procedures are adopted and documented for dealing with all aspects of programme administration. They will assist in achieving a high quality and timely service to current and prospective students and staff related to the designated taught degree programmes and beyond. They will also provide support for all matters relating to the teaching and learning activities of students, from enquiry to completion, including supporting committees and processes relating to assessment, student, and programme records.
The post holder will be part of a wider Faculty Professional Services (PS) team, line managed through the Faculty. They will be expected to spend time physically located with the academic programme team(s) they are supporting, on a regular basis; this may involve travel to UCL East, where some of the Faculty’s programmes are based. This will be discussed, agreed and periodically reviewed with the Line Manager.
In the first instance we expect postholders to support programmes in our departments of Philosophy and UCL Arts and Sciences.

NOTE: UCL is currently reorganising its EASE function. This may result in changes to some of the specific duties and responsibilities of this position and/or its reporting line(s).
