This role provides an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic, motivated individual with strong organisational, project management and administration skills to design and implement plans and workflows to facilitate the smooth and effective running of the Academic Freedom and Freedom of Expression Working Group and the successful delivery of its activities.

This post is full-time (35 hours per week). We are open to considering flexible working patterns, and (on a non-contractual basis) requests for hybrid working that combine a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.

Given the time-limited nature of the Working Group, this post is available on a fixed-term basis for 18 months in the first instance. Secondments will be considered.

- Experience of managing multiple projects and tasks of differing scale and complexity at the same time.
- Excellent organisational skills with experience of managing own workload, prioritising tasks as appropriate and effectively dealing with competing priorities.
- Experience of building and maintaining effective, trusting working relationships.

**Championing equality, diversity and inclusion**

Prior to any employment commencing with the University you will be required to evidence your right to work in the UK. Further information is available on our **right to work webpages **(opens new browser tab).

**Key dates to note**

Interviews will be held **week commencing 4 March 2024.**

On this occasion the University will not consider applicants requiring sponsorship for this role. International workers will therefore only be able to take up this role if they can demonstrate an alternative right to work in the UK.

**About the team**

Working in the Provost’s Office, you will be part of a professional, supportive and friendly team. At the heart of the University, we support the Provost and other members of the University’s Senior Leadership team by building networks and working in collaboration with academic and professional services colleagues across the institution on projects and initiatives that deliver the University’s strategic priorities.

The breadth of our remit means you will learn about the full range of University business while you develop your skills and in-depth knowledge through the work you lead and support. Our work is fast‐paced and intense; you will thrive here if you are motivated, adaptable, and committed to providing an excellent service to colleagues.
