Staff Secretary

Posted: 21st April 2015

Department of Computer Science, Wolfson Building, Parks Road, Oxford.
Staff Secretary
Fixed-term for 3 years
Grade 5: £24,057 – £28,695 p.a.

THIS VACANCY IS FOR INTERNAL CANDIDATES ONLY

The Department of Computer Science has an opportunity for a full-time (part time considered for 3 days a week minimum) Staff Secretary to join the Secretarial support team.  This is a varied role, where you will deal with a wide range of matters, sometimes of a highly confidential nature.

You will provide secretarial and administrative support for a number of Professors and other academic staff, and their research groups, which will typically involve functions such as finance, conferences, meeting, travel, and recruitment.  Additionally, you will support the PA to the Head of Department, deputising in their absence, and be the point of contact for academic visitors.

The ideal candidate will be a flexible, ‘can-do’ person, and have excellent communication, numeracy, customer service, prioritisation, and team-working skills.  Experience in a similar role is essential, as typing and diary management are central in the post.  Experience of working in Higher Education, events organisation, and using financial information systems (such as Oracle Financials) are highly desirable. 

The post is available for a fixed-term of 3 years, and has a salary on the University grade 05S scale (currently £24,057 – £28,695 p.a.) This includes membership of the Oxford Staff Pension Scheme (OSPS) and has an annual leave entitlement of 38 days per year (inclusive of all public holidays and university closed periods).


The closing date for applications is 12 noon on 29 April 2015.
