About Us

The King’s community is dedicated to the service of society. King’s Strategic Vision 2029 sets out our vision for the future, shaped around five priority areas: educate to inspire and improve; research to inform and innovate; serve to shape and transform; a civic university at the heart of London; and an international community that services the world. Our ambitious Education Strategy sets out the actions that we must take to transform how we teach, how and where our students learn and how we support them during their time with us.

The Directorate Office is responsible for managing business operations and day to day activities on behalf of the Executive Team, and across areas ranging from human resources and financial support, to space planning and risk management. They support a wide variety of administrative and executive duties, special projects, and initiatives involving the Executive Director’s Office and its priorities, as well as the priorities of the wider team.

We are part of the wider Students & Education Directorate, a collection of wide-ranging professional services in place to support King’s students and their education. As a directorate we manage the student lifecycle from application to graduation and beyond, to ensure a coherent and seamless student experience and effective administrative processes, working closely with King’s faculties to do so.

About the Role

The Administrative Officer will provide professional and confidential administrative support to the Directorate Office team, to include: confidential diary management for senior executives, meeting secretariat, maintaining annual leave and sickness records, managing our SharePoint site, multiple MS Teams sites and mailing lists, and managing the purchases and ordering for the Directorate office.

This is an exciting opportunity for candidates looking to expand their knowledge of the Higher Education sector, and who wish to utilise their skills and expertise in administrative and executive support. This is an opportunity to work alongside a central team and develop relationships with colleagues across the wider university.

We encourage applications from candidates who have experience from both within and outside of the Higher Education sector where they can demonstrate the skills needed to succeed in this role.
