About the role: Casual Digital Admissions Adviser
We are looking for Digital Admissions Advisers to join our team on a casual basis between 24 June and 27 September 2024 to support with our main student enrolment period. Prior to these dates, you will be given 2 weeks of paid training to prepare you for the role, starting from 24 June 2024.
We have an exciting opportunity available within our Contact Centre at our Reading College campus, offering up to 37 hours per week. In this role, no two days are the same. You will be joining our established team of friendly advisers to ensure we deliver and maintain an exceptional service to all customers, offering a first point resolution to customers over the phone and through enquiries.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is interested in expanding their skills in customer service and administrative support within the education sector, as well as a range of transferrable skills.
You may not have considered using your skills in this way before, so this could take your career and experience in a new direction and may also present opportunities longer term, to provide you with a varied and fulfilling career path.
