Human Anatomy Centre Administrator

The Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience is seeking to appoint a self-motivated, enthusiastic person to join our friendly Human Anatomy Centre team. The facility delivers first and second year anatomy and neuroanatomy courses to an intake of around 320 pre-clinical medical students each year, and supports both research projects and external courses for a wide range of medical professionals. This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking for an interesting and varied role within a busy teaching environment.

Reporting to the Human Anatomy Centre Manager, and joining a team of five professional services staff, the role holder will provide valuable support to help ensure the smooth running of the Centre. Duties will be diverse and will primarily include providing administrative support to the anatomy Course Organisers, as well as managing the body donation programme in the Centre. Support and cover is provided by a second member of the team.

The successful candidate will have excellent communication skills, with the ability to deal professionally and efficiently with enquiries from students, colleagues, bereaved relatives and medical professionals, and will work well in a small and inclusive team. They will also be highly organised and have a flexible approach to work, with an ability to move between tasks at short notice to meet deadlines. Proficiency in Microsoft Office and the ability to manage databases of sensitive and confidential data is also essential. Familiarity with medical terminology would be useful, but training in the work of the Centre will be provided, and a lack of directly related experience is not a bar to applying.

The appointment is offered on a permanent, full-time basis, though we also welcome applications from individuals who wish to be considered for part-time working (minimum 25 hour per week, over five days). There is an opportunity for hybrid working in this role although the successful candidate will be expected to be in the office for the majority of the time, particularly during term.
