📍 4-5 days a week onsite to Milton Keynes
💼 Permanent
Are you looking to step up and take real ownership of student lifecycle operations in a high-trust, low-bureaucracy environment? This could be the role for you.
We’re looking for an experienced Student Records/Registry/Administration professional to join a talented Academic Services team as a Senior Registry Officer; someone who knows how important it is to keep student records accurate, processes running smoothly, and teams aligned, all while keeping students at the heart of it.
At the university, their size is their strength. They're independent, student-focused, and agile and this role gives you the chance to lead operational areas like student records, progression, and graduation from end to end, giving you a breadth of exposure.
What does day to day look like?
• Acting as the operational lead for critical Registry processes including exam boards, results processing, and graduation preparation.
• Supporting and guiding colleagues, serving as the go-to expert and escalation point.
• Driving process improvements – especially around data accuracy, system use (SITS), and service delivery.
• Collaborating closely with teams across the university, from faculties and Student Services to IT and MIS.
• Supporting major student events and ensuring that their Registry function is not just efficient, but student-friendly.
Essential Skills
• Solid experience in Registry or academic services administration, ideally in Higher Education but we would consider Further Education candidates.
• Confident working with complex student record systems and data.
• A strong grasp of the student lifecycle; enrolment, assessment, progression, graduation.
• Someone who can work independently, think critically, and take ownership.
• A natural collaborator, happy to train and support others.
• Attention to detail, calm under pressure, and a collaborative mindset.
Why Join the Organisation?
• You’ll have the autonomy to shape how things are done and the support to make it happen.
• You won’t be lost in a huge structure you’ll be visible, trusted, and valued.
• They move quickly, work closely, and take pride in doing things well.
• You’ll get variety, challenge, and the chance to make a real impact.
