Main duties and responsibilities

The Person

We're looking for a highly motivated and proactive individual who enjoys solving complex problems, working collaboratively, and delivering excellent customer service. You'll be a confident communicator with strong negotiation, analytical and organisational skills, able to manage competing priorities, and deliver effective solutions within practical constraints to demanding deadlines.

 

You will have:

 

  • Excellent organisational and planning skills
  • Strong data analysis and problem-solving abilities
  • Advanced IT skills and confidence working with data
  • Excellent attention to detail
  • The ability to work both independently and as part of an inter-dependent team

 

Previous timetabling experience in an educational setting would be an advantage, but is not essential. We welcome applicants with transferable skills and a willingness to learn.

 

The Role

As part of DMU's Timetabling Team, you will play a key role in supporting the delivery of teaching across the University's 3 Faculties. Working with colleagues across the institution, you will analyse and use data to create effective timetabling solutions that support both staff and student experience, whilst ensuring that teaching resources are scheduled efficiently and effectively.

 

Key responsibilities include:

 

  • Creating and maintaining course, staff and student timetables
  • Analysing and managing complex curriculum and scheduling data
  • Supporting curriculum planning and resource allocation
  • Modelling student recruitment and assessing its impact on teaching delivery
  • Managing timetable changes, room bookings and related enquiries
  • Supporting attendance monitoring processes
  • Identifying opportunities to improve timetabling services and processes

 

This is an excellent opportunity to make a real impact within a supportive team at the heart of the University's operations. If you enjoy working with data, solving complex challenges and delivering outstanding customer service, we'd love to hear from you.
