CUBO Admin Support Officer

The association for commercial and campus services professionals in higher and further education, whose responsibilities include the strategic development, management, and operation of both in-house and outsourced services. Our members represent the majority of UK and Irish Higher Education institutions. CUBO has strong relationships with many other Higher Education associations and organisations, both nationally and internationally. 

Our members hold responsibility for a wide range of services: residential, catering, hospitality & retail, conferencing and events, sport, security, print and design, transport, cleaning, childcare, customer services and maintenance among others. They make a difference to the experience of every student who chooses to study, work, and live at their university. 

CUBO is also the home of the UUK/GuildHE Accommodation Code of Practice (The Code). Where a student lives is a key part of their experience, especially in their first year. The Code is there to protect their rights and assure a safe, good quality place to live. Members signed up to the Code have their accommodation independently audited every 3 years to ensure compliance with the standards required. It is our role to ensure that this is delivered efficiently, accurately and to the requirements laid out by the legislation it represents. 

We are looking for a  CUBO Admin Support Officer to support our team across CUBO operations. This is a highly varied role, supporting membership administration, learning and development (L&D), regional and special interest groups, marketing administration, and events along with occasional support to the UUK Code. You will have excellent organisational skills and the ability to work equally well independently and as part of a team, and you will be able to effectively prioritise tasks and balance competing requirements of the work. 

Our team of home-based staff are located in different parts of the UK and operate virtually through regular calls, virtual meetings and together at physical meetings and conferences we run annually. This role will be home-based and include occasional travel for meetings and conference support, with occasional overnight stays. 

This role is for 21 hours a week, and is a fixed term post for 1 year. 

The post-holder reports to the CUBO Executive Director and will support the CUBO Events and Engagement Manager. This role has no line management responsibilities. 

CUBO offers a competitive salary between £23,881 - £27,644 pro rata dependent on qualifications and experience. A defined contribution pension scheme is offered with 7.5% employee and 16% employer contribution rates, together with life insurance. We offer 30 days’ holiday pro rata plus bank holidays and discretionary days’ office closure. Support for CPD and appropriate training will be given. 

We are committed to equality of opportunity, to eliminating discrimination and to creating an inclusive working environment for all. We therefore encourage candidates to apply irrespective of age, disability, marriage or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion and belief, gender identity, sex, or sexual orientation.
