Working closely with the wider Graduate Studies Support team, you’ll also support key departmental events, meetings and committees. 

You will have strong administrative experience, excellent communication skills, and a proactive, detail-oriented approach to your work. You’ll be confident managing a varied workload with competing priorities, and able to work both independently and collaboratively. Strong IT skills and the ability to quickly learn new systems are essential.
