Diploma and Centre Administrator for Intellectual Property Law - Internal applicants only

Deadline date: Midday on Tuesday 5 January 2021

Grade 7: £32,817 - £40,322 per annum

The Faculty of Law invites applications for the position of Diploma and Centre Administrator for Intellectual Law.  The primary role of the Administrator will be to support the Postgraduate Diploma in Intellectual Property Law and Practice, and the Oxford Intellectual Property Research Centre (‘OIPRC’), working closely on a day-to-day basis with the Diploma and Centre Directors.   The Administrator also has responsibility for the Faculty’s Visiting Professorship and Academic Visitor programmes.  The post holder will report to the Academic Administrator in the Law Faculty, and as a senior member of the administrative team, will have line management responsibilities for a number of other administrative staff, which will require the postholder to maintain a good understanding of their areas of work. 

Applicants must have a good level of education, preferably to degree level; experience of working at a similar level in a broadly comparable role; excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage a wide variety of tasks simultaneously, to meet deadlines, to work effectively under pressure and bring tasks to a successful conclusion; a very flexible approach to work, excellent time management skills, and the availability to work longer hours when occasionally required;  strong negotiation skills and be able to be assertive and diplomatic when dealing with colleagues under pressure.

This is a permanent, full-time role.  There are times of the year when the postholder will be required to work their hours flexibly.  For example, the postholder will be asked to work a small number of Saturdays per year, and will be required to work additional hours during some busy periods: the admissions and examination periods, during the two-week Residential Programme in the first half of September, the week of the annual IP Moot competition,  and also on the odd occasion when it may be necessary to travel to London.

Applications for this vacancy are to be made via the internal job vacancy board which can be accessed via HR Self service, https://staff.admin.ox.ac.uk/working-at-oxford/you-and-work/hr-self-service. Vacancy ID:  148163.  You will be required to upload a CV and supporting statement as part of your application.   

The closing date for applications is midday on Tuesday 5 January 2021.
