Job description
On the 1 August 2026, The University of Greenwich and the University of Kent will form a pioneering new multi-university group called London and South- East (LASE) University Group. Should you join us, you will be employed by LASE and within this, you will be closely connected to and work across one of our academic divisions (University of Greenwich or University of Kent), contributing to its distinct strengths, community and identity. Combining these strengths, LASE brings scale, resilience and shared ambition to deliver outstanding education, impactful research, and meaningful regional and global impact.

Are you organised and confident handling administrative tasks of all kinds? Do you want to work as part of a team delivering a great experience for students and apprentices? If so, we have a part time (21 hours per week) fixed term (11 months) role that could be ideal.

In this role you will be at the heart of the Apprenticeship Unit, providing essential administrative support across all programmes and helping to deliver a smooth, positive experience for every student. Working closely with colleagues across the University, as well as external employers and partners, you'll support key processes and coordination activities, ensuring everything runs efficiently and in line with University policies, quality standards and regulatory requirements.

As Administration Assistant you can expect to be involved in:
  • Providing a broad range of support administrative services across all areas of the End Point Assessment (EPA) for all apprenticeship programmes
  • Acting as point of contact for students, apprentices, prospective employers, external examiners, collaborative partners, staff and visitors
  • Supporting the organisation of EPA assessments, examinations, meetings, events and committees

What will you bring to the role?
  • Previous administrative experience in a customer-facing role
  • Experience of supporting administrative processes from start to finish, including managing documentation and working to deadlines
  • Strong attention to detail with experience maintaining accurate records and confidential information

What we can offer in return:

As a member of our team, you can expect a friendly, open and collaborative working environment and support in your development and wellbeing. You'll enjoy a range of great staff benefits including:
  • Hybrid working options allowing a flexible blend of office and home working (to be agreed in line with business needs)
  • 43 days' leave per year (personal leave, bank holidays and additional days allocated for the Christmas period, pro rata for part-time staff)
  • Excellent pension scheme with generous employer contributions
  • Corporate employee-funded healthcare plan, in partnership with Benenden Health
