Engagement Operations Assistant (Apprenticeship) (N2035)

This is an exciting new role if you are looking for a rewarding and challenging opportunity in Lancaster University Management School (LUMS) to provide a high level of administrative support to the Partnerships and Engagement Team.

LUMS has a long-standing reputation for the design, development and delivery of support initiatives for businesses, both regionally and nationally.  The Management School currently is engaged in a number of externally-funded projects, supporting over 250 businesses each year through the provision of high-quality bespoke programmes, workshops and masterclasses.

We are seeking a dynamic new member of the team to take on the role of Engagement Operations Assistant to work under the direction of the Engagement Operations Manager to provide administrative support in the delivery of existing and new partnerships and business engagement activities. Experience of providing personal assistance is desirable but not essential; however you should demonstrate an appreciation of the complexities involved in the management of the busy diary of a senior member of staff. 

You should enjoy being involved in multiple projects simultaneously in a fast paced environment and will work with colleagues across the faculty and the wider university to support the response to the Knowledge Exchange Framework. You should have experience of delivering high quality customer-focused administration and the ability to prioritise workload appropriately.

You will need a high degree of professionalism, an eye for detail and excellent interpersonal and communication skills. An ability to work effectively as part of a team is essential along with excellent administration and IT skills.

Your development will be enhanced by full funding to undertake a recognised Level 3 Apprenticeship in Business & Administration for 2 years, as part of the University’s commitment to in-work learning through Apprenticeships
