KBS PhD Administrator Job - London - Central

Job Description

PGR Administrator (King’s Business School)

KBS is seeking a highly organised administrator to support our busy PhD (PGR) student programme. We currently have over 100 students in our PhD cohort, and they need regular support to answer their queries about their degree programme, milestones and timelines. This administrator would work closely with our existing Senior PGR Officer to manage the busy PhD inbox, answering and filing student queries, as well as assisting with the arrangement of student travel bookings for their research-related travel (via our university’s Key Travel system) and other research expenses processing. Record-keeping is also an important element of this role, and this administrator would support with maintaining our local, computer-based records of our students’ progress through various programme milestones and their finances (related to any scholarship funding they hold). There is also scope over the summer months to assist with various administrative projects related to the PhD programme and the Business School's preparations for the Research Excellence Framework (REF) submission (working with the wider Research team on this project).

Qualifications

We are ideally looking for a PhD, Masters level student or a third year undergraduate student who is able to commit until end of September 2023.

You must be able to routinely work 14 hours/week, up to an additional 4 hours of work may be available depending on projects. Availability to work some hours on Wednesdays and Thursdays is crucial.

The average 14 hours/week you would work are somewhat flexible and there will be the possibility for hybrid/at-home working. However, it will be essential that the successful candidate is available to work some initial hours (in the first few weeks of the assignment) in-office at Bush House, Strand campus to facilitate their learning of the role duties and to become acquainted with other members of the KBS Research Professional Services team.

Skills

An excellent candidate for this role would be numerate and able to confidently use MS Excel. Prior experience managing budgets and handling financial matters/payments is highly desirable.

Confidence and skills at managing busy inboxes using MS Outlook.

Strong written communication and prioritisation skills for dealing with large volumes of email correspondence quickly and professionally.

Existing experience working in universities/higher education sector, or an interest in developing their knowledge of this sector.

The candidate should be skilled at learning and using online systems and have an interest in further developing these skills with systems that are common across university/high education sector settings (student records, finance, travel, room bookings etc).
