Job Details
This is a 17.5 hour/week job-share (Mon-Wed) position funded until 31/3/18. We are looking to recruit an exceptional individual to share the role with our existing BCFN Manager. Working to the Director, the two post-holders take full responsibility for a substantial range of decision making and activity involved in the day-to-day management of a CDT. This includes managing the £7M budget; liaising with funding bodies; administering student records and processes from recruitment to graduation; scheduling student training programmes; providing pastoral support to students, and facilitating interaction amongst students and academic staff.
You will have relevant experience in Higher Education administration or research, excellent organisation and project management skills; the ability to plan and prioritise work loads and to meet multiple fixed deadlines. You will possess excellent numeracy, IT and written skills. Experience of strategic and daily financial management would be an advantage. Additionally, you should be able to manage a constant and varied portfolio of requests and be able to work independently and with self-motivation. The post line manages a part-time administrator but prior line management experience is not essential.
The position offers an exceptional career opportunity for the right person as the key component of a small and driven team delivering a flag-ship graduate training centre in the University of Bristol. This is a diverse, fast moving opportunity to be at the heart of a strategic and future-focused team working closely with leading academics and outstanding postgraduate students in a world class research environment.
Informal enquiries are welcome to the School Manager, Jessica.Inglis@bristol.ac.uk or BCFN Director, Annela.Seddon@bristol.ac.uk.
The University is committed to creating and sustaining a fully inclusive culture. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and communities.
