An opportunity has arisen for a role within the Department of Accounting and Finance for a Departmental Assistant. This is a key role and gives you the opportunity to gain experience of working in a busy department with a large number of students, degree programmes and academic staff.

Candidates should be numerate, have excellent administrative, IT skills, juggle a busy workload, and have enthusiasm for the role. This varied and challenging position offers wide scope for personal and professional development and is an exciting opportunity for anyone who wishes to work in a fast moving environment and to work within a highly successful team.
