Vacancy ID: 039943

Closing Date: 01-Mar-2026

Maynooth University is committed to a strategy in which the primary University goals of excellent research and scholarship and outstanding education are interlinked and equally valued.

We are seeking an applicant with outstanding administrative skills to join our staff as an Executive Assistant. The successful candidate will join the School administration team and will report to and work closely with the Administrative Officer and the Head of the School of Law & Criminology. In addition, the successful candidate must be willing and able to work well with others. The position involves a significant amount of interaction with students and with academic and administrative colleagues across the School and University, and with key stakeholders outside of Maynooth.

This position offers an excellent opportunity for talented individuals to make a mark in a growing school. The position affords both the autonomy to develop skills and potential, and a friendly and co-operative working environment. This is a ‘front of house’ role so is not conducive to working from home, although, on occasion, some flexibility will apply in this regard.
