Applications are invited for the post of Senior Student Administration Officer, Information Security Group, Centre for Doctoral Training, based in the Doctoral School.

Academic Administration at Royal Holloway is organised into six School Administration teams and a Doctoral School, which are all part of the Student & Academic Services directorate; a single professional service which supports the student journey. Administration teams have been designed to provide a consistent and effective service to both students and staff.

Due to a vacancy the role of part-time Senior Student Administration Officer has now become available.  This is a fixed-term role covering the final four years of a Research Council grant funding PhD Students in the Information Security Group, Centre for Doctoral Training.   This is a key appointment at an exciting stage of the grant.

The ISG CDT Senior Administration Officer is responsible for the core administrative processes associated with the CDT and acts as the central point of contact for the CDT students.

The role will require superb organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to prioritize effectively.  We are looking for someone who has an aptitude for problem-solving, plus excellent interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.  The successful candidate will be comfortable working independently under their own initiative, as well as part of a small team of colleagues.

You will have the ability to adapt to changing circumstances, to work under pressure and to tight deadlines.  You will need to be proficient in Microsoft software such as Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams, with experience in co-ordinating budgets.

In return we offer a highly competitive rewards and benefits package including:
