With this in mind, the Student & Academic Services Directorate of the University of Greenwich is seeking to recruit a number of enthusiastic Student Information Officers to join our Student Centre team at our Medway Campus.

The ideal candidate will have enthusiasm for supporting students ensuring that they are at the heart of all that we do, experience of providing administrative support in a busy and dynamic team, and a proven track record of delivering a range of user focussed services to clients and/or students.

Regular working at other University campuses (at Avery Hill and Greenwich), along with some late working and occasional weekend work to support directorate wide priorities such as registration and open days, and willingness to be part of a flexible work pattern to adequately support the delivery of a 9-5 delivery, will be an on-going requirement of this role.
