Divisional Coordinator

**Full time**

We are looking to appoint a Divisional Coordinator to contribute to and assist in the administration of a range of functions across the Division of Health Research at Lancaster University.

The Division of Health Research is a large and successful division within the Faculty of Health and Medicine at Lancaster University. The division hosts a number of health-related educational programmes and is home to a large number of research active staff who contribute to a range of health and social care related research programmes working alongside staff in DHR, across the Faculty and University and with external stakeholders.

The primary responsibility of the Divisional Coordinator will be to provide a high level of operational administrative support to the Division. This will include providing proactive support for Research, Education, HR and Divisional Operations and planning; developing and supporting existing priorities and new initiatives; contribute to the review of processes; and participate in plans for continuous improvement and working collaboratively across the Division, Faculty and University.

Experience of working in a higher education institution, research environment or health care sector is an advantage but not essential. Applicants will be expected to demonstrate initiative and the ability to work on their own as well as in a team and communicate with a range of people from a variety of backgrounds.

Our team and the Division of Health Research provide a friendly environment that strongly supports the individual needs of each employee and which actively promotes a healthy work-life balance. The Faculty is committed to family-friendly and flexible working policies and has held a Silver Athena SWAN award since 2014 in recognition of its good employment practice undertaken to address gender equality in higher education and research.

The position is available for immediate start and we are open to discussing flexible working arrangements including working week and days/hours worked and flexible start and finish times.

This role could be undertaken as a blended position with a minimum of two days a week working with the wider team on campus (Health Innovation One).
