Job description
The Governance Office is looking to recruit two University of Sussex graduates to join us in the Division of General Counsel, Governance and Compliance (GCGC). The Governance Office supports the University’s Executive Group (UEG) and its governing body, Council, to drive the strategic development of the institution. These roles give the opportunity to work with a wide range of staff across the University.
The role holders will:
- Provide day to day administrative support for the team including diary management, file creation, correspondence, maintenance of filing systems and data bases and delegated procurement;
- Support the Head of Governance Services in the smooth running of Council, Senate and their sub-committees;
- Provide high quality support with ongoing Compliance work.
The successful candidates will have a flexible and positive approach with strong planning and organisational skills. They will have excellent written and oral communication skills and an ability to use a range of IT packages. The nature of the Governance Office’s work means that attention to detail, maintaining confidentiality and establishing highly effective working relationships are key.
