Temporary Administrative Assistant

The University of Oxford is inviting applicants with suitable administrative and clerical skills to register with the Temporary Staffing Service, an internal service supplying University departments with temporary staff.

Assignments range in length and a mixture of working patterns will be available, accommodating those who require flexibility, or just enjoy variety. The University has various sites located across Oxford, but the majority of assignments will be based in the City Centre and Headington areas.

The Temporary Staffing Service can offer competitive rates of pay and generous holiday entitlement of 38 days per annum (pro rata) including Bank Holidays and fixed closure dates.

Applicants to the ‘Admin & Clerical’ pool should be able to demonstrate skills and experience in one or more of the following fields:

• Administration
• Clerical/Office Support
• PA/Secretarial
• Reception

You should also be available to start work at short notice, or approaching the end of another commitment

This is an exciting opportunity for those who already have experience working at the University and are seeking the flexibility and variety that temporary work can offer, or for those looking to develop the practical experience of University systems and procedures often featured in the selection criteria for permanent vacancies.
