You will have excellent communication skills and are good at building effective relationships with people across the university and at our partner institutions. You are passionate about higher education and enjoy teamwork.
Excellent customer service is at the heart of everything we do at UWE Bristol and the postholder will be able to demonstrate their strong client focus and how their skills and experience to date can contribute to providing the best experience possible to our students.
You will be supported in learning this role and given opportunities to develop your skills and experience through a thorough induction programme as well as various in-house learning and development courses.
