Project and Administration Assistant

We are looking to appoint a highly organised, motivated individual to support the Earth Observation Science Group (EOS) based at Space Park Leicester. You will provide an efficient, confidential and proactive administrative support service to the EOS Group. This support will encompass the group’s administration including support for research activities, project financial monitoring and communication with the central university administration. As the first point of contact for a variety of communications, you will confidently represent the group with exceptional professionalism.
Able to work independently, you will deliver excellent administrative support, often in the face of competing demands and tight deadlines. You will be proactive in using your own initiative and judgement to resolve issues, be able to determine priorities and to ensure that they are represented professionally at all times.

Informal enquiries are welcomed and should be directed to Sophie Bricknell ([email protected] ) or Dr Joshua Vande Hey ([email protected] ).
We anticipate that interviews will be held during late April.
As part of the University’s ongoing commitment to professional development, this role will also be considered on a seconded basis for existing staff members. Please ensure this is discussed with your line manager prior to applying. More information regarding secondments can be found here
