Role summary
The Education Support Team based in Wonford and Heavitree provides core and critical operational support for clinical and academic teaching activity for students in all five years of the BMBS medical programme across Devon.
This role offers an exciting opportunity for someone looking to develop their career in a management position that supports the operational aspects of a growing team on an expanding programme as part of a small, cohesive management team. The role-holder will need to work effectively in an environment where the confidence to use their initiative to provide solutions to time-sensitive issues is essential. It is embedded within a wider administrative team in a busy environment and, in collaboration with individuals and teams on other University of Exeter campuses. The key aim will be to focus on delivery of an excellent service to students and NHS partners, and focus on the use of data collection and manipulation in order to do this.
The ability to build relationships and networks with stakeholders to achieve short- and medium-term results while also seeking to define and deliver longer-term solutions is imperative.
There is an expectation that the role-holder will quickly build knowledge and develop a network of key contacts across institutions, both internally and externally, representing the interests of the programme.
About you
About the team
The BMBS programme support team forms a vital part of our support services to undergraduate medical students and NHS partners, including delivering a face- to-face service for students and staff. Roleholders will be expected to work onsite in the RILD Building and Heavitree Hospital for the majority for their working week, i.e., 80% onsite, and potentially more while the training and induction period is completed.
Please also note that peaks in workload at specific points in the academic cycle may mean the ability to take annual leave could be restricted during August and September. To accommodate the different working patterns of our NHS partners, and because of the intensive nature of the programme, each member of the team will be required to attend a limited number of ‘out-of-hours' meetings or teaching throughout the year.
Please ensure you read the Job Description and Person Specification for full details of this role.
