About the role

The department has recently been through some considerable changes, with significant investment in the team and a new senior leadership structure in place, making it an exciting time to join and be part of a new chapter in the University's philanthropic journey.

You will lead on ensuring other database users receive comprehensive training and will be responsible for resolving or escalating their queries and requests. The quality of the database is instrumental in the University's ability to meet goals and raise funds, and this makes for a very rewarding role where you will see the immediate impact of your work.

This is a permanent, full time position working 36.5 hours per week.
