Administrative Assistant

Are you interested in working for a world class University. We deliver life-enhancing research, innovation and education that not only transforms the lives of our graduates, but shapes the world we live in. We believe the best way to achieve this is by fostering an ambitious, inclusive, collaborative community.

At the University of Sheffield, we are proud of the difference we have made and continue to make. But we will never stop exploring new ways to do more.

We are looking for a hard-working enthusiastic Administrative Assistant to join our team. You will report directly to the Administrative Team Leader and provide:

• Administrative support to students.
• Support Recruitment and Admissions.
• Assist with the Exams process.
• Carry out a wide range of activities that require constant assessment and prioritisation, working to tight deadlines and producing work of consistently high standard.
• Assist with student attendance monitoring of all students and keep accurate records of confidential student files.
• Work collaboratively as part of the administrative support team and provide cover for other members of the team, as required (including sickness, holiday cover and the service needs of the department).

You require a minimum of

• 5 GCSEs at Grade C or above including Mathematics and English, or equivalent qualifications.
• Experience in student administration.
• You will have good knowledge, skills, and experience in supporting committees including Effective communication skills, both written and verbal with the ability to communicate at all levels and minute taking.

You will be responsible, as part of a team, for the smooth running of the departmental office, as well as collaborating with the team to maintain high levels of student satisfaction.

As part of the office team, you will assist with and provide cover for a range of general departmental duties.

The time allocated to each of the main areas of activity will vary throughout the academic year according to demand and therefore flexibility and the ability to deal with competing demands and deadlines will be key.

We are one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
