Job description

Full time, Open ended

Loughborough is recognised as the world’s best university for sport – a place where Olympic and Paralympic ambitions sit alongside grassroots participation and community impact.

We are recruiting a Personal Assistant to support the Pro Vice-Chancellor for Sport, working closely with the Executive Officer and as part of the wider Vice-Chancellor’s Office PA team. This is a key role in enabling the Pro Vice-Chancellor to focus on delivering a demanding and high-profile agenda.

In this role, you will provide high-quality personal and logistical support, including :

• Managing a complex and fast-moving diary
• Coordinating travel, meetings, and event logistics
• Supporting inbox management and correspondence as directed
• Ensuring meetings and events run smoothly, including attending to practical details that help the Pro Vice-Chancellor move comfortably and efficiently between commitments
• Providing anticipatory support that enables the Pro Vice-Chancellor to operate at their best

You will be an integral member of the Vice-Chancellor’s Office PA team, collaborating closely with colleagues while also providing tailored personal support to ensure comfort, efficiency, and readiness throughout the day. While the role is primarily within normal working hours, flexibility may occasionally be required.

We’re looking for someone who can :

• Demonstrate excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
• Balance competing demands calmly and efficiently
• Communicate effectively and confidently with colleagues and stakeholders at all levels
• Work collaboratively as part of a team while exercising initiative in personal support and practical tasks
• Bring a proactive, solutions-focused approach to both routine and practical challenges

This is a rewarding and varied role, offering the chance to work in a supportive, high-profile environment and contribute directly to Loughborough’s world-leading sporting mission.

If you’re ready to bring your organisational expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to enabling personal and professional success, we’d love to hear from you.
