Administration Lead

The postholder will play a pivotal role in supporting the day-to-day operations of the administrative team, ensuring tasks are effectively delegated, deadlines are met, and any staffing or operational challenges are swiftly resolved. They will assist in managing ESRs and recruitment processes across various departmental leads and disciplines, contributing to a smooth and efficient onboarding experience. A key aspect of the role involves providing core administrative support, including the organisation of departmental meetings and forums, with oversight of actions using digital tools to ensure accountability and progress tracking.

They will be responsible for complex diary management and planning, particularly during periods of absence or increased workload, ensuring adequate staffing levels are maintained. The role also includes supporting preparations for key departmental meetings and ensuring the department adheres to quality standards and complies with all legal and regulatory requirements. This is a dynamic and varied role requiring initiative, adaptability, and a commitment to excellence in administrative service delivery.
