    • Provide human resources support, including managing MORA\\\'s staff survey action plan, managing staff-related files, and organising access to Imperial systems.
      • Administer and coordinate MORA\\\'s finances, including supporting the preparation and reconciliation of MORA year-end accounts; managing equipment purchases; and managing purchase orders, invoices and new supplier set up.
      • Assist with general Imperial duties when necessary, such as supporting MORA-led Open Days and Confirmation.

What we are looking for

  • Evidence of managing and developing staff successfully.
  • Experience of developing and implementing policies and procedures.
  • Experience of providing high quality customer service and relationship building.
  • Ability to manage own workload through effective ordering of priorities and display of good organisational ability.
  • A high level of accuracy and consistent attention to detail.

What we can offer you

  • The opportunity to continue your career at a world-leading institution and be part of our mission to use science for humanity.
    • A competitive salary and remuneration package; including 39 days off a year (inclusive of 8 bank holidays, 25 annual leave days, and 6 mandatory university closure days) and a competitive pension scheme
    • Career development and training opportunities.
    • The opportunity to be part of a diverse, inclusive and collaborative work culture with various staff networks and resources to support your personal and professional wellbeing.
