Programmes Administrator at University of Bath

About the role

We are looking for a pro-active and motivated individual to join the Faculty of Engineering & Design’s Courses and Assessment Support Team (CAST) as a Programmes Administrator.  The successful candidate will join our dedicated team and play a vital role in supporting the smooth and efficient administration of the Faculty of Engineering & Design’s taught degree programmes. Working closely with both professional services and academic colleagues, you’ll help ensure an excellent experience for our students.

As part of a small, collaborative team, flexibility and teamwork are key. Your main focus will be on assessment-related processes throughout the academic and student lifecycle, but you’ll also provide day-to-day administrative support for teaching, assessment, and student data management.

Key responsibilities include:

• Maintaining accurate student records on the University’s database.
• Supporting Directors of Studies and liaising with external examiners.
• Responding to enquiries from students and academic staff.
• Assisting with core assessment and progression activities across departments during peak periods.

If you’re organised, adaptable, and enjoy working in a supportive environment, we’d love to hear from you.

Our ideal candidate:

• A considerate team-focused mindset.  Supporting colleagues and contributing constructively to a collaborative working environment. 
• Excellent organisational skills.  Managing multiple tasks and deadlines with ease. Maintaining accurate records and tracking student progress. 
• Strong digital skills. Comfortable working with university systems, and programme records. Confidence to quickly learn and embrace evolving digital platforms. 
• Great communication skills. Engaging confidently with students, academic colleagues, and external stakeholders. 
• A proactive approach. Taking initiative and working with autonomy when needed. 

Experience in the use of university-specific software (e.g. Moodle, SAMIS/SITS and Business Objects) is desirable, though not essential, since training will be provided. Most important is an interest in our work, a willingness to become fully involved in both team business, and the life of the faculty and its departments.
