Operations Officer

This role is based in the Careers and Student Enterprise Service which is the career, employability, and enterprise nucleus of the University of East London. The goal of the service is to support every student to achieve academically, gain the skills for the 21st century workforce, and build direct pathways to employment. The service’s mindset has innovation and creativity at its core. To improve progression, retention and graduate outcomes, the service utilises innovative technology and research, which has shown impact on our students’ satisfaction, behaviour, and outcomes. This is a one-of-a-kind department with highly motivated staff and a high level of quality within the products produced.

We are looking for an individual with solid administrative experience with an emphasis on logistics and operations. Someone who is a creative thinker with excellent communications skills and able to build positive relations with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders. Staying calm under pressure and being used to delivering to demanding deadlines will come naturally to you. What's more, you're willing to work some long days, evenings, and weekends (with agreed time off in lieu) to get the job done. In return you will work with a dynamic and progressive team where you will certainly benefit both professionally and personally from being at the heart of careers and student enterprise initiatives.

We are building an environment of success where colleagues are supported to achieve, and our community can flourish and thrive. We are an accredited Investors in People Award Institution and have achieved the Investors in People Health and Wellbeing Award. With Athena Swan Awards and being one of a small number of universities to have achieved the Race Equality Charter Award, we continue on our journey to address and reduce barriers to opportunity.

So, if you are looking to build your career in a dynamic, inclusive, and performance-focused team and are inspired by our environment and drive for success, we want you to apply to join the University of East London. We are looking for inspirational individuals who have a passion to make a positive difference to people and planet, creating a more sustainable future for everyone.
