Student Services provides a comprehensive welfare and support service for students, ranging from immigration advice to financial assistance and specialized counselling and support.

We are looking for Clerical Assistants to form part of a back-up team whom we can call upon, sometimes at short notice, to provide general administrative assistance during peak demand times.  You will be part of the frontline reception team, which is a customer focused service, providing advice and support to all students at the University.  You will also assist professional staff with general administrative duties. 

As a Clerical Assistant you will require initiative, attention to detail, accuracy and the ability to deal with students, staff and external stakeholders in a cheerful and professional manner.  You will need to be a proven team player and have a positive manner at all times.  Experience of working in a busy customer facing environment is essential as is working with students in a Higher Education setting.  Knowledge of Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Excel and Outlook is essential. An ability to remain calm under pressure and to prioritise work is vital. You will be willing and able to give assistance to all colleagues in Student Services and so previous knowledge of the various branches of Student Services’ work would be an advantage.

Hours as required, to be discussed at interview. For further information please contact Katharine Cundill, Acting Office Manager on 01334 462020 or email khc51@st-andrews.ac.uk.
