Being agile to the needs of the team is particularly important, as well as the requirement to understand the systems, procedures and processes in place, both to help convey complex information, as well as identifying systems and process improvements.

The successful candidate will work closely with colleagues in SPS and wider across the University Directorates in a collegiate manner, sharing best practice and lending support to others during periods of peak processing.
