Deal with highly confidential issues with discretion, recognising the sensitivity of such matters and ensuring appropriate liaison with managers and other internal and external colleagues
Responsible for the effective management of the flow of business in and out for the senior management. This requires a detailed knowledge of wider senior managers’ portfolios, regular referral to University policies and procedures and an awareness of any sensitivities. Considerable judgement needs to be exercised to decide on the actions required
Set up and/or co-ordinate business meetings both internally and externally, including preparation of agendas, distribution of minutes and papers, progressing actions and making the administrative arrangements such as travel, accommodation, etc. Ensure that arrangements make the best use of management time, are sustainable and represent the best value for money

This will include scanning websites or printed documentation for relevant information and presenting this information in an appropriate format
Ensure that travel arrangements are made to make the best use of manager’s time and that the most cost-effective bookings are made, with value for money and environmental sustainability as key considerations
Ensure that critical issues are referred to the relevant member of the senior management team along with any relevant background information or paperwork and assisting by prioritising tasks and keeping track of important deadlines in a detailed task management system. This includes identifying, devising and implementing effective office procedures to support the work of the office
Make decisions on less regular issues where necessary in the absence of the managers (e.g. accepting or declining external invitations to events; agreeing to deadline changes; providing information in response to requests, etc)
Act as proxy for senior managers, occasionally representing them in internal meetings or communications, and acting on any operational issues arising in the absence of that manager
Work on specific projects being led by the senior managers. This may involve carrying out background research, attendance at formal and informal meetings, contributing to the discussion, taking the minutes, and ensuring that the action points are completed
