Overview

My team and I are here to ensure that everyone’s work life runs as smoothly as possible. We take care of all the things that need to happen from day-to-day or week-to-week, that, when all is well, go unnoticed! I am responsible to the School Manager and deputise for her as the need arises.

The main areas that we support as a team are:

§  Events Management – A full programme of both internal and external events ranging from seminars for staff and students to major international conferences – largest of these to-date was the European Criminological Conference 2017 (1300 delegates)

§  Space management – responsible for ensuring that space is allocated and utilised appropriately across the four buildings the School currently occupies

§  Technical and IT services – Ensuring that all staff technical needs are met 

§  Human Resources (currently 273 members of staff, across 4 different career pathways) – includes preparation of job descriptions, appointment processes, induction, probation, appraisal, asylum and immigration checking, sickness absence monitoring and training and development as well as providing both HR advice and pastoral support as required.
