• record and monitor relevant School funding

To be successful in this role you will have:
• GCSE English and Maths (grade C/4 or above) and a foundation level financial qualification (be actively studying towards or willing to undertake) or equivalent
• good IT skills, particularly Microsoft Office packages, and a good understanding of databases and spreadsheets
• excellent and demonstrable numeracy skills
• the ability to remain focused and effective when faced with competing demands in a busy environment

Our vision for KMMS is to create a new medical school for Kent and Medway that becomes a beacon for first-class medical education and research. The School will attract the most talented aspiring doctors from within the local community and beyond, offering training and development opportunities that will help to keep that talent in Kent and Medway.

The University of Kent is a distinctive and attractive place to work. We employ over 6,000 staff, including academic and research staff and a full range of support and administration staff.
