Summary of the role

We are looking for a meticulous and detail-oriented Education Support Administrator (Finance and Payments) with excellent communication and organisational skills to help us process payments relating to the delivery of the BMBS (Medical) Programme in Devon.

You will be responsible for the day-to-day management of finance administration with oversight for both internal and external communications.
