Based in the flagship team in askUS (the University’s one-stop-shop for student support services, which includes Student Support, Student Registry and Income and Treasury) you will be the first point of contact for customer enquiries through multiple contact points, including face-to-face, live chat, email, telephone, and video calling.

In return we will invest in your training and development, supporting you to grow your knowledge and experience across the entire askUS service portfolio. Our vision is to deliver innovative and inclusive services, supported by a dedicated team of colleagues who aspire to be the best in the sector, and we’re looking for candidates who want to join us on our journey.

We are continuing to grow our askUS provision, offering support and services to students at the times and in the places that they need us, and our core opening hours.

All appointments will be made on merit, and as an equal opportunities employer, we welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons.

In recognition of our commitment to create a diverse team that draws from our widest talent pool we would particularly encourage applications from groups who are currently under-represented at this level, which in this case is our minoritised ethnic applicants.
