Are you an experienced Personal Assistant who is looking for a new challenge? We are looking for an experienced Personal Assistant to support time to be split between Prof Posner in Oxford Robotics Institute and Prof Armour in Oxford e-Research Centre. This is a permanent post. We would ideally like someone to be in the office most of the week. However, working arrangements will be discussed with the successful candidate. You will be responsible for supporting all administration for these professors, including diary management, expense submissions, co‑ordinate events and travel, update websites, and collating and presenting data. This is a demanding and pivotal position where you are responsible for ensuring that critical tasks are completed, and that day‑to‑day organisation and communication works effectively across a number of large research groups. You will work closely with colleagues within the department, the division and across the university to ensure coordination on relevant issues.
You will have a good level of education, preferably to degree level. You must have significant experience as a Personal Assistant as well as experience of working with senior members of staff and working without reference to a senior line manager.
