About The Role

As Project Coordinator, you will play a central role in managing and delivering the operational activities of this multi-institutional doctoral programme. Operationally reporting to the WOH programme director, and organisationally situated within the Faculty Administration team, you will be working closely with colleagues across our partner organisations, and will support the student experience by overseeing the organisation of training and events, maintaining accurate student records, and ensuring the smooth running of key programme activities throughout the year.

This position is based on our Guildford campus, with hybrid working arrangements available. We expect a minimum of 60% of your time to be on-site to support close collaboration and successful project delivery. We welcome applications for candidates seeking a part time role; the role is up to four days per week.

• Organise and coordinate the annual cycle of WOH events, including Welcome Week, research celebration days, recruitment and selection processes, and student training activities.
• Maintain accurate and compliant records of student progress, outcomes, and EDI data.
• Manage the WOH flexible fund, including transfer of funds to partners and overseeing payments for stipends, research expenses and other costs.
• Collaborate with marketing and communications teams to maintain and update the WOH website and generate engaging content.
• Work closely with the Studentships Finance and Admissions teams to support smooth delivery of studentships.
• Support the implementation of best practices in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in partnership with the EDI lead.
  
  

• Experience in project or programme coordination, preferably in a research, higher education, or public health context.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver against deadlines.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage confidently with a wide range of stakeholders.
