Personal Assistant to Dean, School of Media and Communication

As a Personal Assistant to the Dean of the School of Media and Communication, your primary role is to provide first-class confidential secretarial and administrative support to the Dean. You will also be responsible for the operational management of the School Office, including providing a presence on site to assist with inquiries, managing room bookings, off-site away-days, the provision of refreshments, and the distribution of papers and clerking of committees. Pivotal to the smooth running of the School Office, you’ll plan and prioritise workloads, organise Senior Leadership Team meetings and provide support where required by the Dean to the Senior Leadership Team, manage diaries, help with research activities and projects, coordinate all necessary communications, and retrieve and provide information as required.

Owing to the nature of the work, we’ll need you to be of ‘A’ level standard and already have exceptional office and administrative experience. With significant experience in diary management and committee clerking at a senior level, you must be able to treat information confidentially, be highly organised, have established IT skills and ideally experience of Office 365, and be able to operate on your own initiative, whilst happily working as part of a team. A willingness to help, a positive approach, and efficiency is essential.
