Duties will include providing general administrative support to the department, responding to student enquiries, maintaining timetable and assessment information, distributing student information, supporting department and school level events, and supporting the Head of Department in the annual planning of teaching. During busy periods coordinators also have the opportunity to utilise development opportunities by supporting examination boards and student progression activities across teams.
