The Role

The College is looking to appoint a Learning Resource Centre (LRC) Administrator, to assist in the general admin duties within the College, and help maintain the Learning Resources Centre (LRC) as a calm and purposeful study space, building positive relationships with students so they feel confident seeking guidance and support.

You will also take responsibility for a range of student support systems, including the Digital Access programme and Independent Learning Mentor scheme, ensuring they run efficiently and effectively. Working closely with teaching staff, Heads of Year, and support teams, you will contribute to the development of resources and services that enhance students' independent learning and academic success.

We are looking for a methodical and detail-oriented individual who can manage a varied workload with accuracy and professionalism. You will be a team player with excellent interpersonal and communication skills, whilst also being confident working independently, using initiative as required. This role involves regular interaction with students and staff, so you will need to be flexible, approachable and responsive, with the ability to prioritise effectively in a busy environment.
