Healthy Lifespan Institute Administrator

Working pattern:

Part-time, working 17.5 hours per week

Working pattern to be agreed

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Administrator with a passion for organisation to support the activity of the University of Sheffield’s flagship Healthy Lifespan (HELSI). At HELSI, we are uniting over 200 world-class Sheffield researchers spanning 5 Faculties and 30+ Departments and Schools to tackle the global epidemic of multimorbidity – the presence of two or more age related chronic conditions – to help everyone live healthier, independent lives for longer and reduce the cost of care.

We are looking for an experienced individual to support the Institute’s Manager Dr Gemma Stephens and Co-Directors Professor Ilaria Bellantuono and Professor Alan Walker to deliver HELSI’s objectives and transform ageing for all.

You will play a key role in the success of HELSI by taking the lead on administrative process, for example:

• Organising HELSI’s lively timetable of events (including our high profile annual conference, research workshops, online seminars, training, public engagement and social activities) taking responsibility for internal communications (creating the HELSI newsletter, advertising and marketing of activity).
• Managing and supporting key Institute processes (such as servicing of management boards, student recruitment and monitoring, budgeting, orientation of new members, gathering and collating data for evaluation and planning, supporting our early career network).
• Providing support for key HELSI Knowledge Exchange and Co-production projects (such as the UKAgeNet network).

This will entail working with a large number of internal and external stakeholders, across a wide variety of disciplines, sectors and career stages and as such the role would suit somebody with outstanding communication skills. The HELSI Administrator will also be helping to deliver the University of Sheffield’s vision and strategic plan. Our University’s core purpose is to deliver world-class research, innovation and education by working as One University.

We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
