Personal Assistant (PA)

Do you have experience of providing high level secretarial support? Are you looking for a challenging role which enables you to work across a diverse range of activities and with a variety of people? Can you work independently and proactively?

The University Strategic Plan (2014-2020) sets an ambitious target to grow research funding by 50% to £200m per annum by 2020. The Director of Research and Innovation Development plays a key role in leading a team within the University to support this agenda.

We are seeking a motivated and proactive Personal Assistant (PA) who will be part of a professional team that works collaboratively to ensure that all members of the senior research and innovation management team are constantly supported to a high level. You will primarily support the Director of Research and Innovation Development, providing a high level of administrative support in an independent and self-managed capacity.

You will have substantial experience as a PA to senior management and possess excellent organisational and communication skills. You will be a strong team player and have the ability to exercise initiative and work independently. Diplomatic and discreet in approach, you will be skilled at managing a complex workload accurately, including electronic diary management and correspondence management.

Interviews are expected to be held on Friday 10 March 2017.
