Workforce Development Coordinator

Join our Workforce Development Team and help the University succeed through the excellence of its people. You’ll provide high-quality, proactive administration that keeps our services running efficiently and adapting to change. Your specialist focus will be the Academic Career Progression system supporting senior managers and academic colleagues through probation and promotion processes — while also collaborating across the team on projects and service improvement.

Day-to-day, you’ll prepare papers for committee meetings, collate and validate information, maintain accurate digital and physical records, attend meetings to capture outcomes, and communicate decisions clearly and professionally. You’ll manage enquiries from staff and managers, liaise with external stakeholders where needed, and help us deliver a smooth, well-governed process.

You’ll also support broader workforce development activity: helping organise development programmes and events, updating web pages, monitoring shared inboxes, and contributing to projects (for example, staff surveys or systems changes). Confident with data, you’ll assist with extracting information from HR systems and producing straightforward statistical reports.

This is a busy, varied role that will suit someone who enjoys juggling deadlines, takes pride in accuracy, and communicates with tact and clarity at all levels. We offer a genuinely hybrid set-up; you’ll have significant discretion over where you work on any given day, balancing on-campus needs with focused time at home to get things done.

• Strong administrative experience in a busy, deadline-driven environment, with excellent organisation, accuracy and attention to detail.
• Confident communicator (written and verbal) who can draft clear papers, take concise notes, and provide helpful guidance to colleagues at all levels.
• Customer-focused, collaborative approach; able to build positive relationships and handle sensitive information with discretion.
• Good digital skills: MS Word, Excel, email and web editing; comfortable working with databases/HR systems and producing basic statistical reports.
• Awareness of good data management practice (e.g., Data Protection/FoI).

• Experience in a general or specialist HR environment.
• Experience organising and supporting events; using database/reporting tools.

• Commitment to high standards, inclusivity, and great service; a growth mindset and willingness to learn; resilience under pressure and changing priorities.

This role is offered on a part time (22 hours per week) fixed term basis with an expected end date of 06/11/2026.
