Senior Programme Officer

About us

King's Arts & Humanities is distinctive in representing exceptional strength in both the longer established disciplines (such as Philosophy, Classics, Theology, English, History, Languages, and Music) and world‑leading quality in more recently established fields (such as Digital Humanities, Film, Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts, and Culture, Media and Creative Industries).

The Faculty is organised into three Clusters, each of which has dedicated professional services teams.

This role will be based in the Arts Cluster and will support the Music Department.

Our students come from all over the world from many different backgrounds, attracted by our reputation for and dedication to excellent teaching, by the work we do to create a dynamic and inclusive community, and by the opportunity to study right in the heart of London, a global and multilingual city where we experience languages and cultures in action every day.

We are looking for a Senior Programme Officer to join our Professional Services team, working within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at one of the most prestigious universities in the UK.

The role offers an exciting opportunity to anyone who is interested in providing high‑quality comprehensive support for undergraduate, postgraduate and distance learning programmes. The Music department has well‑established undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. You will act as the first point of contact for all students, academic staff and key external contacts, providing a professional, supportive, responsive and personable service.

The role supports processes within our main work streams of Assessment and Award, Programme Planning and Delivery and Student Communications and Knowledge. You will ensure accurate and timely record management across multiple systems across the whole academic cycle.

This would be an ideal role for anyone with a passion for supporting the delivery of excellent education from the heart of London.

This is a full‑time role, and you will be offered an indefinite contract.

To be successful in this role, we are looking for candidates to have the following skills and experience:

We pride ourselves on being inclusive and welcoming. We embrace diversity and want everyone to feel that they belong and are connected to others in our community.

We are committed to working with our staff and unions on these and other issues, to continue to support our people and to develop a diverse and inclusive culture at King's.

We ask all candidates to submit a copy of their CV, and a supporting statement, detailing how they meet the essential criteria listed in the advert. If we receive a strong field of candidates, we may use the desirable criteria to choose our final shortlist, so please include your evidence against these where possible.
