Within the role you'll undertake a wide range of tasks from supporting the selection of new scholars, through to helping organise events and resolving scholars' queries.

You will need to be innovative, well-organised, meticulous, and able to maintain good working relationships with our partners. You will draw on your numeracy and IT skills, providing an excellent service and enabling Clarendon to keep on making a positive difference to our students' lives.
