Are you interested in working for a world top University? We have an exciting opportunity in the Department of Philosophy for someone with a passion for professional support looking to use their teamwork and people skills to make an impact in a higher education environment.

We are seeking to recruit an Operations and Student Experience Assistant on a 12-month maternity cover, part-time contract working 26.25 hours per week. It is expected that the working pattern will be Tuesday-Friday, but we are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities with our staff which benefit both the individual and the University.

You will join a dynamic Professional Service team, in a busy and varied role. Reporting to the Student Experience Manager, you will be the first point of contact for our staff and students in person at our reception, on the telephone and in writing. You will provide excellent customer service and support a range of processes and procedures from registration through to graduation. You will provide general administrative support across a wide range of operational matters central to the effective running of the department including estates, financial processing, the administration of departmental events and committee servicing.

With previous experience of working in a busy office environment, you will be able to demonstrate excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to provide accurate and comprehensive information to both students and staff members. You will have experience of working in and contributing to a diverse team, managing a complex workload independently and have a high-level of attention to detail. You will also have experience of, and aptitude for, working with Microsoft Office and Google software.

The Department of Philosophy currently consists of 26 members of staff, across an unusually broad range of areas. We have a thriving research culture, and in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework our publications were ranked 2nd in the UK. Each year the department hosts a wide range of conferences, workshops, reading groups and seminars. In addition, we have been home to a variety of large research projects, including the Leverhulme Bias and Blame Project, the Leverhulme Pragmatism and Idealism Network, and the AHRC Culture and Mind Project. We are also home to the Hang Seng Centre for Cognitive Science, the Centre for Engaged Philosophy and (alongside York and Leeds) the White Rose Centre for the History of Philosophy. We have a large and vibrant postgraduate community. Our operations are underpinned by a team of 8 administrative staff within the department.

Our website offers more information about all aspects of the department’s activity:
We are 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.
