This role will have sole responsibility for some areas and then share responsibilities for other aspects. Activities will include:
Core admin responsibility for all aspects of the trainee recruitment process, including:
managing all stages of the process including liaising with the UK's central Clearing House (through which all applicants apply), receiving batches of applications and completing the initial appraisal of all applications, organising multiple shortlisting panels (comprising internal and external shortlisters), arranging interviews of 70+ potential applicants, and managing offers to successful (and potentially reserved) candidates working closely with the Admissions Director regarding all aspects of the recruitment process handling all communications with prospective and successful candidates, ensuring a seamless experience
Other programme-related activities including:
administering programme sub-committees maintaining accurate student records, and ensuring compliance with Data Protection and Freedom of Information Acts. managing trainee expenses, ensuring compliance with NHS policies and deadlines. managing payments for People with Personal Experience (PPE) involved in the programme
About you
This is a busy and varied role. You will need to have: excellent organisational skills appropriately high levels of autonomy and initiative the ability to multi-task and work with others to plan and prioritize strong IT skills to facilitate managing university- and programme-specific records, admissions processing and other relevant systems. Good communication skills are also essential in order to engage with the wide range of individuals and groups connected to the programme - including academic staff, Doctoral College colleagues and other professional services staff within the university, as well with externally based short-listers, speakers, examiners, placement conveners and NHS colleagues. Although colleagues have a clearly-defined role we work closely together as a team to support each other, and so teamwork as well as the ability to work independently are equally important.
