About the role
Are you a motivated and enthusiastic professional who thrives in a creative, dynamic and senior‑level environment? We are seeking a talented Executive Assistant to provide exceptional support to the Vice‑Chancellor’s Office.
In this role, you’ll be at the heart of running the VC office, delivering efficient and professional administrative and operational support. Your excellent communication skills—both written and verbal—will ensure smooth interactions across all levels of the university. Confidentiality, discretion, and a friendly, confident approach are essential as you work closely with senior leadership.
We are looking for an experienced administrator with personal assistant experience, who has sharp attention to detail and a proactive, can‑do attitude. You will thrive on supporting projects and events; your ability to prioritise and juggle a diverse range of tasks will be essential in this role.
Strong writing and IT skills are key to your success, particularly proficiency in Microsoft Word, Outlook, and other essential tools. Experience in supporting senior‑level staff and interacting confidently with people across all levels of an organisation is highly desirable, and minute‑taking experience is a definite advantage. Please note this role is primarily office based and requires flexibility to support the needs of the VC office.
If you’re organised, adaptable, and ready to bring your energy and expertise to a pivotal role in the Vice‑Chancellor’s Office, we want to hear from you!
This is a re‑advertised vacancy, previous applicants need not apply.
In meeting your performance expectations, each year you’ll have a salary increase in line with the grade of your role. As well as this there is an annual cost of living increase. AUB provides generous holiday entitlement, and you will be enrolled in the Local Government Pension Scheme (professional services staff) or the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (academic staff) from day one of employment. Along with subsidised bus travel, cycle to work and annual savings schemes, our broad range of benefits can be explored on the AUB careers website.
AUB has an agile working policy, and flexible working can be considered. If you require support with your application or have any questions about the role or recruitment process, please email us. If you are disabled, we are committed to supporting you with any reasonable adjustments you require, so please email us and we’ll be in touch.
