The School of Engineering is seeking a proactive and organised Administrative Assistant to join our Staff Administration Team.
This role is extremely varied with no two days being the same. Being based within a small team, it offers you the opportunity to work on activities and processes independently, and autonomously from start to finish.
You will take ownership of key administrative processes, with a particular focus on recruitment and HR support. This involves managing end-to-end recruitment processes for both permanent and temporary staff, acting as a key liaison for hiring managers, HR teams, and candidates.
In addition, you will provide high-quality administrative support to senior colleague, including the School’s Research Cluster Leads and Directors of Teaching. This includes servicing Committees, taking minutes, coordinating and attending meetings as well as supporting key academic events.
Flexible Working
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis (e.g. job share), despite the position being advertised as full-time.
Working Arrangements
This role is based in our Staff Administration Team within the School of Engineering, on the University of Warwick campus in Coventry. Whilst we currently offer hybrid-working arrangements, the successful candidate will be expected to work a minimum of the first 6 months of their appointment onsite full-time. After this, due to the nature of this role, it is expected that the post holder will be required to work on campus a minimum of 80% of their time on a team rota. Additional days in the office may be required at busy times, or to cover colleague absence.
CLOSING DEADLINE: Sunday 25th January 2026 at 11:55pm (UK Time)
