"Executive Assistant"

This is a part time post (24.5 hours per week, 0.7 FTE), and open ended with funding available for up until 31 May 2028.

The post sits within the Health Economics and Health Technology Assessment (HEHTA) Research Group (www.glasgow.ac.uk/hehta) which is a fast-growing and vibrant team of multi-disciplinary researchers.

We are looking for an experienced and self-motivated Executive Assistant to join our thriving department, providing high-quality administrative, secretarial and project support to Professor Olivia Wu, William R Lindsay Chair of Health Economics.

This is an exciting and wide-ranging role involving matters that are sometimes of a sensitive, highly confidential and/or urgent nature. In addition, the post holder is expected to interact extensively with senior members of the department, the wider University, government representatives and other external organisations. You will be the first and a central point of contact for enquiries, manage Professor Wu’s diary, meeting schedule and travel arrangements, and review and implement processes and procedures to ensure the effective organisation of business, strategic and operational planning.

In addition, to supporting Professor Wu’s leadership of a large portfolio of academic activities, the postholder will also support her activities in leadership roles within the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2029.
