Operations Officer

We are looking for an Operations Officer to join our team and perform a new crucial business support role.

Professional HE Services (PHES) is an umbrella company for membership organisations in the UK Higher Education sector. PHES is the corporate “parent” to seven Special Interest Organisations (SIOs), and between them, these organisations support UK university staff who work in the areas of estates, facilities management, legal, internal audit, commercial and campus services, finance, procurement, strategic planning, and HR. We currently employ 36 staff across the UK.

We have recently increased the number of associations we work with and the number of staff we employ, which has seen an increase in the operational support we require. The successful candidate will become an essential part of the team, providing operational and administrative support to the Managing Director.

This role is for 22.2 hours a week (0.6 FTE).

The post-holder reports to the PHES Managing Director and has no line management responsibilities. This role will be UK home-based and include some UK travel and occasional overnight stays to attend team meetings.

We will offer a competitive salary between £29,605 - £33,966 pro-rata pa, dependent on qualifications and experience. A defined contribution pension scheme is offered with 7.5% employee and 16% employer contribution rates, together with life insurance. We offer 30 days’ holiday pro rata plus bank holidays and discretionary days’ office closure. Support for CPD and appropriate training will be given.

We are committed to equality of opportunity, to eliminating discrimination and to creating an inclusive working environment for all. We therefore encourage candidates to apply irrespective of age, disability, marriage or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion and belief, gender identity, sex, or sexual orientation.
