Job Description

This is a varied role where your ability to deliver highly efficient education administration and coordination is as important as the relationships you build up across Kew and externally. You’ll coordinate a number of Continuing Professional Development courses, oversee our British Accreditation Council teaching accreditation.
Working closely with staff and external partner organizations, you will be adept at managing large and complex administrative portfolios, and able to quickly get up-to-speed with digital resources including online learning platforms. Ideally, you’ll have a background in biodiversity science, and understand the themes of research undertaken, but it will be your ability to work both collaboratively and flexibly, combined with the skills to cut through complex administrative problems to find innovative and effective solutions, which will be most valuable.
This is a hands-on position where your energy, style of communication and problem-solving skills are just as important as IT literacy, higher education administration experience and scientific knowledge.
Our fantastic benefits package includes opportunities for continuous learning, a generous annual leave entitlement, flexible working to help you maintain a healthy work-life balance, an Employee Assistance Programme and other wellbeing support such as cycle to work scheme and discounted gym membership. We also offer a competitive pension, an employee discount scheme and free entry into a wide range of national museums and galleries.
