Job Description
About Us
The King’s community is dedicated to the service of society. King’s Strategic Vision 2029 sets out our vision for the future, shaped around five priority areas: educate to inspire and improve; research to inform and innovate; serve to shape and transform; a civic university at the heart of London; and an international community that services the world. Our ambitious Education Strategy sets out the actions that we must take to transform how we teach, how and where our students learn and how we support them during their time with us.
The Student Knowledge & Information department brings together colleagues who are focussed on helping students to get the information they need quickly and easily and also to engage with their programme and university life more broadly, through management of inbound enquiries and service requests, static and dynamic digital content, and outbound communications. Our remit covers all King’s students, from enrolment to graduation.
Student Knowledge & Information is part of the Students & Education Directorate, a collection of wide-ranging professional services in place to support King’s students and their education. As a directorate we manage the student lifecycle from application to graduation, to ensure a coherent and seamless student experience and effective administrative processes, working closely with King’s faculties to do so.
About the Role
Student Services Frontline is King’s central team for enquiry management. Student Enquiries Officers handle enquiries from students, alumni and third parties via various enquiry channels including in person, online and by phone. They are responsible for providing excellent customer service and handling often complex enquiries using our Customer Relationship Management software (CRM), Microsoft Dynamics. Supported by a comprehensive knowledge bank (Student Services Online), the team work collaboratively with colleagues from across the university to provide an excellent student experience.
This is an exciting opportunity for candidates looking to gain experience in a student support environment, who wish to utilise their skills and expertise in customer service.

Key Responsibilities
- Provide in-depth written and verbal information and guidance relating to multiple support services and administrative processes across the university to a diverse and multinational range of enquirers.
- Use research skills and knowledge resources to provide positive and timely resolutions to enquiries in a case management system (Microsoft Dynamics) ensuring accurate records and effective notes are kept.
- Adhere to processes, policies and legislation, including those relating to data protection, equality and inclusion, referring to specialists and other departments when necessary.
- Manage and prioritise daily workload, working to meet the team’s agreed Service Level Agreements and Key Performance Indicators and flexibly across our locations and settings, including face-to-face, phone, Microsoft Dynamics and webchat.
