Cambridge, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

The Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistic (MMLL) is seeking an enthusiastic and versatile person with strong administrative skills to join our team in this busy, varied and interesting role.

As Faculty Secretary you will work as part of Faculty administration team, providing general administrative support for Faculty activities and logistics. Based in the Faculty Office, you will act as our 'front of house', dealing with day-to-day enquiries as well as coordinating larger on-going projects.

Working with colleagues, you will help us maintain effective procedures to smoothly administer Faculty activity, acting as the first point of contact for students, staff and visitors to MMLL to offer support and/or direct their enquiry to the most appropriate team. Supervised and supported by the Faculty Coordinator and working as part of a wider team of professional services staff supporting teaching and research, you will be a key source of information to many.

You will be a well-organised and adaptable team player with some experience in administration or customer-service and a commitment to providing high-quality support to students, staff and other stakeholders. You will be a strong communicator with good interpersonal skills, confident in dealing with individuals at all levels of seniority. You will be well-organised and able to move between tasks at short notice to meet deadlines. You will enjoy working collaboratively within your immediate team but also able to work independently, acting effectively on your own initiative.

Although this role has a strong office-based component, the Faculty is open to flexible working patterns accordingly and currently operates a hybrid work environment, with staff combining office-based and remote working.

The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
