Summary
The role
Working as part of the Sport Business and Administration Team, you will oversee and contribute to a team of sport administrators to ensure Sport Hallam delivers an excellent customer/user experience to all its stakeholders.
You’ll work right across the Sport Hallam Team as well as the wider university to support and promote a range of programmes, bookings, processes, and sport participation initiatives.
It is essential that you have good customer service skills as the role is dealing with customer queries in person, over the phone and via email.
You'll need to have excellent communication skills and be confident working with a wide variety of people and platforms.
You will be expected to deliver a high-quality administrative service whilst also receiving and responding to customer enquiries, so it is important that you can organise and prioritise your workload, using your initiative.
