We are ranked in the world's top 350 institutions in the 2022 Times Higher Education World University Rankings, and we are a global university transforming lives through innovative, inclusive and entrepreneurial education and research. Our research institutes and four faculties bridge scientific, technical and creative fields.

About the Role:

The Examinations & Academic Appeals Service within the Academic Registry provides a challenging environment for self-motivated individuals seeking to further develop their professional careers. You will plan and co-ordinate the administration of ARU's examinations and administer and support the exceptional circumstances (mitigation), academic appeals and academic misconduct functions, advising academic and senior staff on the interpretation of ARU's Academic Regulations accordingly. You will be responsible for the administration of data systems on which staff and students rely. You will also work with other Services within the Academic Registry, affording you the opportunity to diversify your skills and HE knowledge base.

With a degree or part qualified in a relevant professional qualification at degree level, you will have excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, as well as effective communication and interpersonal skills and the ability to work in a pressurised environment and demonstrate attention to detail. Experience of committee work, familiarity with academic procedures and/or database systems would be an advantage.

Like much of ARU, the Academic Registry works on an agile basis – a mixture of office and home-based working and we can accommodate a variety of preferences in this regard.

Informal enquiries can be made to either Lorna Kempster, Examinations & Academic Appeals Manager, at: [email protected] or Caroline Watts, Deputy Academic Registrar, at [email protected].

Interviews are scheduled to take place in the week beginning 16th October 2023.
