Department Coordinator

The role

We are looking for an enthusiastic, motivated individual to provide administrative support for our lively and busy Departments. This varied and interesting post will involve close liaison with the staff within the Departments, Faculty-based teams, Central Professional Services, external organisations and members of the public.

The key tasks will be providing administrative support for a number of Departmental activities including executive support for senior members of the academic staff, servicing departmental committees and support for other departmental/Faculty events, including undergraduate admissions.

About you

Educated to a minimum of A level or with an equivalent qualification, you will have experience of working in a busy office environment where excellent communication skills are essential. You will be an experienced user of Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint) and will be willing to acquire further IT skills. You will also have proven experience of and enjoy working as part of a successful team in a confidential setting.

Experience within the HE sector and knowledge of University Regulations and QA procedures is desirable but not crucial. Skills in the use of University specific software (Moodle, SAMIS, Agresso and Business Objects) will be an added advantage. However, an interest in our work and a willingness to become fully involved in the life of the Faculty is equally important.

Further information

This is a permanent, full-time role. We offer a hybrid working arrangement with the option of working from home for part of the week.

For an informal discussion, please contact the Faculty Operations & Projects Manager Jess McCallum (email: jm2295@bath.ac.uk)
