This is a diverse role that contributes to the delivery of a customer focused, efficient, and effective administrative support service which includes supporting academic staff with curriculum delivery, assessments, and supporting students across all postgraduate and undergraduate programmes within the dental school.


This is an opportunity to engage with students and support them whilst studying at university, playing a key role in facilitating the student experience journey by effectively communicating with students, academics, clinicians, and colleagues.
