Personal Assistant to Dean of Academic Strategy

The opportunity

As a PA, your primary role is to provide a first-class confidential secretarial and administrative service to the Dean of Academic Strategy. You will liaise with the PA support both cross College and University. 

You will also provide organisational and administrative support to Line Managers within the School as appropriate. Duties will include room bookings, diary management, organisation of senior staff meetings and compilation of letters, memos, emails and reports.

About you

Pivotal to the smooth running of the office, you’ll plan and prioritise workloads, organise meetings, manage diaries, help with research activities and events, maintain staff records, coordinate all necessary communications and retrieve information as required; you’ll help in whatever way is needed to optimise efficiency and output.

Owing to the nature of the work, we’ll need you to be of ‘A’ level standard and already have exceptional PA, office and administrative experience. Equally your report drafting skills, clerking skills and presentation formatting skills need to be impressive. Beyond that, you must be able to treat information confidentially, be highly organised, have established IT skills 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.
