MSc Taxation Course Administrator

The Faculty of Law seeks to appoint a permanent Course Administrator to manage and support a range of administrative functions for the new MSc in Taxation degree programme, which will have its first intake of students in October 2016. This is a taught Master’s degree which will attract legal and accounting professionals and others and will require a high degree of professionalism in all aspects of administrative support for admissions, the teaching programme, examinations, assistance to the academic postholders in Taxation and related fields and dealing and co-ordinating the input of Visiting Professors and lecturers.

On a day-to-day basis the postholder will be responsible to the MSc Course Directors and Deputy Directors, and she or he will be a member of the Law Faculty’s student administration team, led by the Academic Administrator.

Applicants must have experience of working at a similar level in a broadly comparable role; a good level of education; proven IT and organisational skills (being able to manage and prioritise a number of competing tasks); excellent communication skills; the ability to work independently using their own initiative as well as displaying initiative and sound judgement, and have a flexible and co-operative approach.

Ideally, applicants should also have the capacity to follow and maintain administrative systems and processes, including developing a good operational understanding of the procedures and approaches of the two departments providing this degree (Law and Saïd Business School); and experience of using one or more of the University’s software packages in a similar context.
