**The Role and the Department**

The Discovery Research Platform for Medical Humanities (DRP-MH) at Durham University aims to empower health and wellbeing researchers from different sectors and disciplines to co-develop new and experimental approaches to tackling health challenges, including mental health and health inequalities. It is a £9m award which aims to transform the way research is undertaken in the field of Medical Humanities.

The Platform involves researchers from departments across the Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences and Sciences. It will also engage with and support international research networks, and a wide range of voluntary and health sector partnerships. The DRP-MH is hosted by the Institute for Medical Humanities (IMH) which is focused on improving health by understanding hidden experiences. The Institute and Platform are currently located at the Confluence building on Durham University’s Science Site.

The Discovery Research Platform for Medical Humanities (DRP-MH) seeks to appoint a General Administrative Assistant to join our operations team, reporting to the Operations Manager. This is a 3-year fixed term post, with the potential for an extension.

The position offers an exciting opportunity for an experienced administrator to join a newly created dynamic and friendly team. The General Administrative Assistant will work with Platform leads; key academic Lab and Site Leads in the Platform; Institute for Medical Humanities staff and a variety of administrative teams across the University, to deliver excellent operational and administrative support. They will work flexibly to ensure the operations team functions effectively in meeting priorities, working in accordance with University and Departmental policies and procedures, demonstrating a commitment to customer service excellence.

The role will provide a diverse range of tasks and responsibilities: including supporting the leads across the platform; making purchase orders; assisting with the administration of events; servicing management group meetings and ensuring DRP-MH administrative processes and systems give efficient and effective support, recommending changes when appropriate.

Our offices in the Confluence building on Durham University’s Science site offer a friendly and pleasant environment in which to work with the flexibility of having quiet dedicated office space alongside an open plan area, meeting rooms and a well-equipped staff room.
