The ideal candidate for the KERI Executive PA and Support Coordinator role will possess a strong background in higher education or public sector administration.

The candidate must demonstrate excellent spoken and written communication skills, with the ability to provide clear information and explanations within standard guidelines.

Key competencies include the ability to work flexibly and cooperatively with others, displaying a positive attitude towards tasks and people. Building good working relationships across the KERI and the University is crucial. The candidate should be capable of listening effectively and responding sensitively to others, handling confidential material with discretion, and taking clear, concise minutes of meetings within specific time periods.

A high level of accuracy in their work, the ability to work independently, prioritise workload to meet deadlines, and maintain high standards of record maintenance and updating are essential. The candidate should also be able to assist with the review and development of administrative and secretarial processes and procedures, implementing changes where appropriate.

Directorate/Function

The Academic Services Directorate includes Research & Impact, Knowledge Exchange, Academic Registry, Quality Assurance and Enhancement, the Learning and Teaching Enhancement Centre, and Planning. Collectively, the Directorate supports academics in their research and KE activities and supports some of the University’s governance and decision-making committees, maintains academic regulations, develops and implements academic policies, oversees the quality and standards of academic provision, and leads the development of education practices across the University.

The Directorate is responsible for stimulating cutting-edge research, impact, and knowledge exchange and supporting a vibrant community of graduate research students, to increase the volume, impact, and visibility of our research and business activities. We actively liaise with Faculties and researchers to support and develop research activities across all disciplines and provide related training and development opportunities. We foster interdisciplinary working to promote, advance, and share knowledge with the overall aim of securing new revenue sources and contributing to regional prosperity. Our goal is to foster and sustain a vibrant research culture in which our researchers and research students can flourish.

As a directorate, we identify opportunities for innovation, see change as an opportunity, value constructive feedback, and share good practice across the University.
