Overview
Doctoral Programmes Administrator (DClinPsy) (CC13065) – Bath, BA2 7AY
Are you an organised and detail-oriented professional looking to play a key role in supporting postgraduate education?
We’re looking for a Programmes Administrator to join the Doctoral College, supporting the Doctor of Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy) and Foundation Systemic Theory and Practice courses.
The DClinPsy is a three-year, full-time professional doctorate where trainees split their time between university study and supervised placements in NHS mental health settings. You’ll be part of a dedicated team, working alongside two other Programme Administrators and a Programme Manager, as well as colleagues across the Doctoral College.
About the role
Key areas of responsibility include:
- supporting the full admissions cycle, from screening applications through to shortlisting, interviews, and final offers.
- maintaining systems to meet quality assurance standards.
- acting as a first point of contact for applicants and trainees, maintaining accurate records in line with University and NHS requirements.
- ensuring compliance with Data Protection and Freedom of Information regulations.
- assisting with events such as inductions and Q&A sessions.
- servicing programme committees and meetings (including minute-taking) on occasions.
About you
We are looking for someone who:
- has experience in an administrative support role (ideally in higher education or student administration but this isn’t essential).
- brings excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities under pressure.
- communicates confidently and professionally with a diverse range of stakeholders (eg colleagues, non-specialists, senior managers, external stakeholders and, if you have an HE background, applicants, staff, and students).
- has strong IT skills, with proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams, and a willingness to learn University systems.
- (and if you have HE experience…) ideally has experience with platforms such as Moodle, SAMIS/SITS, or Business Objects (desirable but not essential).
