Our client base incorporates high potential SMEs, global multi-national corporations, family businesses, social enterprises, NGOs, public and 3rd sector organisations who we help develop the strategic leadership needed to build a prosperous, fairer, and more inclusive society.

The Opportunity

Strathclyde Executive Education and Development (SEED) seeks a motivated and ambitious Programme Assistant to join its team. In this role, you will provide a wide range of administrative support duties for several SEED programmes, primarily focusing on the Business Management Graduate Apprenticeship Programme.

Reporting to the Programme Manager (Graduate Apprenticeships), you'll offer administrative support for apprenticeship degrees alongside other corporate programme offerings. Additionally, you'll handle general administrative tasks such as procurement, finance, planning, and supporting on-campus delivery. The role is crucial in maintaining our high service and delivery standards, underpinning our commitment to operational excellence and an outstanding student experience.

To be considered for the role, you must possess either Higher grade level education or equivalent, coupled with relevant administrative experience.
