• Strong IT skills with an interest and confidence in using new technology.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Confidence in talking to large and small groups.
• A strong teamworking ethos and the ability to build relationships with staff and students across the University.
• The ability to quickly absorb information and proactively seek solutions to problems.
• The ability to work calmly and independently under pressure.
• A supportive, positive and non-judgemental attitude.

We encourage applications from BCU 2022/3 graduates or recent Alumni as part of the Graduate ‘Grow Your Own’ programme. As part of this programme, you will receive additional support in the form of tailored learning to support your transition from student to working professional.
