Are you experienced in higher education and known for keeping busy academic calendars under control? Can you coordinate interviews, stakeholders, and events without missing a beat? Signature Recruitment is excited to be recruiting for a Programme Coordinator to join a London higher education organisation on an immediate start basis.

This is a full-time, temporary role for 4–6 weeks, paying £24.32 per hour, based in London with hybrid working.

This is a varied and hands-on role suited to someone organised, personable, and confident managing competing priorities. You will need to adapt quickly, communicate clearly, and feel comfortable working in a fast-paced, research-focused environment.

• Coordinate interviews for senior-level academic candidates, liaising with clinicians and researchers
• Organise interview panels, schedule meetings, and manage candidate communications
• Maintain accurate records using spreadsheets, trackers, and internal systems
• Support programme delivery, including leadership training and academic development initiatives
• Assist with marketing activity and manage feedback from programme participants
• Work collaboratively in a small team and respond to changing priorities

• Strong organisational skills with excellent attention to detail
• Confident communication with senior academic and clinical stakeholders
• Proficient in Excel and SharePoint for data tracking and reporting
• Experience working within higher education or a research-focused environment
