The Role
Are you a highly organised administrator who enjoys the fast-paced nature of a PA role?
This is a key role where you will provide direct, confidential support to the Dean of School. You'll be the "right hand" for leadership, ensuring the smooth running of the Dean's daily schedule and helping the wider Senior Management Admin Team stay on track. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who likes variety and wants to work in the heart of a vibrant university environment.
Your Key Responsibilities
* Direct PA Support: Take charge of the Dean of School's diary management, booking meetings, and ensuring all necessary paperwork is organised and ready to go.
* Travel & Logistics: Organise travel and accommodation for visits, ensuring every detail is covered.
* HR Administration: Partner with the Senior Management Admin Team to assist with various HR-related activities as needed.
* Enquiry Management: Act as a professional first point of contact, handling daily enquiries and directing information to the right team members efficiently.
* Stakeholder Liaison: Respond quickly to requests for information from school staff and senior university leaders, ensuring a professional and helpful service at all times.
What We're Looking For
* Organisation is Key: You should be someone who loves a tidy inbox and a perfectly managed diary.
* Discretion: You will be handling confidential information, so a professional and trustworthy approach is essential.
* Proactive Attitude: You don't wait to be told what to do; you see a gap and fill it.
* Experience: Previous administrative or PA experience is great, but we value experience over formal qualifications. If you can do the job and do it well, we want to hear from you.
* Reliability: This is a 100% office-based role, so we need someone who enjoys the buzz of a busy office environment five days a week.
Why Apply?
* Temp-to-Perm: This is a fantastic foot in the door for a prestigious employer with the potential for a permanent future.
* Immediate Impact: You can start straight away and make a real difference to the school's leadership.
* Structured Hours: Enjoy a consistent 9-5, Monday-to-Friday schedule with no weekend work.
