Department of Student and Educational Support

At SLU's Department of Student and Educational Support, you will play a key role in providing students from all over the world with a smooth and legally secure path into education – and onwards into professional life. Here you combine administration with social benefit, in a dynamic environment where international perspectives, quality, and student service are in focus.

We are now looking for you who, for a limited period, want to work as an Admissions Coordinator (Production Responsible, PA) within the Unit for Study Administration and Mobility on campus Ultuna.

About the job

As an Admissions Coordinator (Production Responsible, PA), you have a clear responsibility for planning and leading the practical admissions work and are the contact person for the coordinated admissions process. In your role, you coordinate the entire admissions round and assess the eligibility of applicants with both foreign and Swedish qualifications. SLU has a total of three PAs who together are responsible for the different admissions rounds. You are also part of a larger group of admissions officers, located on campus Ultuna and Alnarp respectively. The work also involves informing about eligibility and selection rules, building models in NyA, writing statements to the appeals board, producing and processing statistics, and participating in the development of various materials and official responses. You are expected to plan and conduct meetings and workshops. Furthermore, the work involves collaboration within our department and continuous contact with students and staff at faculties and faculty offices. Together with our other admissions coordinators, you will hold dialogues with faculties and departments regarding routines and areas for development.

The department has staff at SLU's locations in Ultuna, Alnarp, Umeå, and Skara, which means you need to be able to travel to different locations as needed.

We are looking for someone who has:

• Experience of admissions processing within universities/higher education.
• An academic degree, at least at the bachelor's level.
• Good knowledge of the systems NyA and Ladok.

Meritorious experience includes:

• Experience of production responsibility/coordination within admissions at higher education/universities.

We are looking for you who are responsible, secure, and stable with good self-awareness and sound judgment. You are flexible, have a knack for taking on new tasks, and adapting to changes. Additionally, you are meticulous, have a structured way of working, and are accustomed to making decisions based on current regulations and timeframes. You should enjoy working both independently and together with others. Since you are to support and collaborate with colleagues and others within the operation, you need to be receptive, clear, a good communicator, service-oriented, and have an easy time collaborating.

We place great emphasis on your personal qualities.
