Administrator & Personal Assistant (N1771)

The Faculty of Science and Technology’s strategy for Partnerships and Business Engagement focuses on the development of partnerships with external organisations to deliver impactful research collaborations, student engagement opportunities and other engagements with the university. A team embedded across the faculty delivers this strategy by developing and maintaining external business relationships and aligning these with our academics in all departments, multi-disciplinary research groups and cross-faculty institutes.

In order to appropriately support the generation of a wide range of new partnerships with businesses and other science users an Administrator is being recruited to join an established faculty support team. This team offers support for the embedded business engagement teams across the faculty in the areas of marketing, digital services, student employability, co-location building services and general administration.

We are seeking a dynamic new member of the team to take on the role of Administrator and Personal Assistant to work under the direction of the 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; applicants should demonstrate an appreciation of the complexities involved in the management of the busy diary of a senior member of staff. 

Applicants should enjoy being involved in multiple projects simultaneously in a fast paced environment and will work with colleagues across the faculty, the wider university and external partners. Individuals should have experience of delivering high quality customer-focused administration and the ability to prioritise workload appropriately. The role will be mostly office based but the role holder may occasionally be required to travel and work into the evening when delivering events.

The role is fixed term until 31st October 2019.

For a discussion of the role, please contact Sarah Mills, Operations Manager: sarah.mills@lancaster.ac.uk 01524 510421

We welcome applications from people in all diversity groups.

Closing Date: 21 Oct 2018
