Exeter College, part of the University of Oxford, seeks an enthusiastic and motivated Administrative Assistant to join its Academic Office team.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a small and friendly team, and to play a key role in ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of the office as it, in turn, supports the academic requirements of staff and students. As well as being involved in a wide range of tasks connected to the academic administration of the College, you will also work with other departments within the wider University, and the post therefore provides an excellent grounding in Higher Education administration.
The successful applicant will have relevant administrative experience, as well as a proven ability to work calmly, quickly, and to successfully prioritise multiple competing demands. You will also have high levels of accuracy and attention to detail, and strong communication and interpersonal skills.
Experience of working in Higher Education administration or within a student services team would be an advantage, but is not essential.
Salary will be at a point on Grade 4 of the University’s Salary Scale (currently £27,838 to £31,459 per annum), depending on skills and experience. Benefits include a generous annual leave entitlement, a free lunch in College while on duty, and optional membership of contributory pension and healthcare/ dental schemes. The College supports flexible working, and is able to consider requests for limited homeworking, as appropriate.
Whilst the role is advertised as full-time, the College may be able to consider part-time working arrangements for the right candidate.
