Do you have an interest in equality, diversity and inclusion issues, particularly around disability? Are you a motivated self-starter able to work independently using your own initiative and also as part of a team? Are you an experienced administrator with excellent organisation skills? 

We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic individual with excellent administrative, interpersonal, communication and organisational skills to provide assistance to a blind member of academic staff, Professor Anna Lawson, enabling her to carry out her research, teaching and administrative duties.

You will  demonstrate a high degree of independent working and initiative in all areas of the role as well as working with Professor Lawson and multiple teams to achieve end goals. You will work closely with colleagues in the School Support Team and Student Education Service. In addition you will have a high level of attention to detail, excellent proof-reading skills  and be able to work to deadlines. You will be fully competent in the use of technology including using Microsoft Office applications and be able to manage email and internet based systems.

Standard working hours for the post will be 2½ - 3 days per week between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday. However, there will be a need for flexibility to support Anna with her commitments. Occasional work outside these hours on national and international trips may also be required.

Due to the role being funded by the Access to Work scheme, the hours and rate will be dependent on any award made and reviewed in line with Department for Work and Pensions guidelines.
