We are the University of Cumbria, for and from Cumbria and our localities, rooted in serving our communities, with people, place and partnership at our heart.

We are delivering a new 'Towards 2030' strategic plan focused on making the most of our three most valuable assets — People, Place and Partnerships — to become a catalyst for economic well-being for our region, nationally and internationally.

We are looking for a proactive Administrative Assistant to join our Admissions team following a promotion within the team. Your primary role will be to manage the processing of applications for a recognised group of courses, supporting applicants, recruitment agents and staff to provide a timely and efficient application process.

You will be a team player that can deal with the Admissions administrative activities so that applicants and agents get timely and informative updates on their status.

We offer a comprehensive set of staff benefits which includes a competitive salary, 35 hour full-time working week, 33 days holiday plus bank holidays, hybrid working in line with business need, and an excellent pension scheme with 8% employer contribution.
