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.
