We are the University of Cumbria, for and from Cumbria and our localities, rooted in serving our communities, with people, place and partnership at our heart.
Now is a very exciting time to be joining us because we are delivering a new "Towards 2030" strategic plan focused on making the most of our three most valuable assets; People, Place and Partnerships, to become a catalyst for economic well-being for our region, nationally and internationally.
The University of Cumbria and Imperial College London have formed a strategic partnership to open a new medical school to develop and deliver the Pears Cumbria School of Medicine (PCSM). The first students start a bespoke 4-year post graduate Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Science (MBBS) programme in 2025/26. Applying the University of Cumbria’s experience in training nurses, midwives and other professions allied to medicine, alongside Imperial’s expertise in medical education, we aim to produce doctors who are embedded in their local community ready to contribute to services across the region and beyond.
An exciting and challenging opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated and experienced individual to join PCSM. As Programme Administrator you will work closely with the Programme Officer to support the day-to-day planning and delivery of all operational aspects of the MBBS programme, working closely with the academic team. You will be responsible for maintaining meticulous student records and the administration of key student facing processes. You will also support activities such as welcome week, induction and open days.
This is an exceptional opportunity to help shape the delivery of this unique Medical School.
Hybrid working arrangements can be supported for this role in line with business need.
