Business Administrator

People are at the heart of everything we do at Pathology, so why not join our professional services team as our Business Administrator and start supporting excellence in research and education. We can offer a welcoming work environment where you can feel valued, encouraged to develop, and supported to achieve your full potential.

You will provide a comprehensive administrative service to the Head of the Division of Virology and the other staff of the division. Ideally you will have some relevant administrative experience with high competency in standard software packages. Good communication skills and the ability to deal with a wide range of people at all levels are key skills to bring to the role. This is a busy and varied role, so the ability to plan and prioritise your own workload is essential. However, you will work within our friendly team, so will have a support network to help you along the way.
