We are looking to appoint an Administrative Assistant within our established Innovation, Research & Development (IR&D) Team.
The post holder will provide comprehensive administrative support to the IR&D team, acting as a key point of contact and source of information for staff with an interest in research and innovation, while supporting the efficient day-to-day running of the department.
This is a fixed-term, part-time post (15 hours per week for 6 months) to provide temporary cover within the team. Due to the short-term nature of the role, applicants with previous experience of working within a research and development department, research administration environment, or similar setting are particularly encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute quickly and support ongoing research activities with minimal supervision.
Experience of using Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel and Outlook, is essential.
We are looking for an organised and motivated individual with excellent communication, planning and IT skills, who can work independently, prioritise competing demands and maintain a high standard of accuracy.
