Resourcing Assistant at The University of Surrey

The University of Surrey is seeking an enthusiastic Project Coordinator to support the delivery of a new doctoral training programme in Infection Biosciences, funded by a BBSRC Doctoral Landscape Award (DLA). Led by Surrey, the Wessex One Health (WOH) DLA is made up of seven partners across the South of England and will train talented PhD students in innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to major health threats, including emerging infections and antimicrobial resistance.

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. You will also be responsible for programme coordination, stakeholder engagement, communications, and administration. .

This is a highly collaborative role, and you will act as a vital point of contact for WOH students, supervisors, academic and industrial partners, and internal teams. 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.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain strong working relationships with WOH partners, including academic institutions, industry stakeholders, students, and support teams.
• 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.

About You

We are looking for a proactive and organised individual who thrives in a collaborative, multi-stakeholder environment. You will bring:

• 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.
• A keen eye for detail and a commitment to high-quality record keeping and reporting.
• A collaborative and solution-focused approach, with a strong commitment to student development and partnership working.

Why Join Us?

The University of Surrey is a leading institution at the heart of transformative education, research and innovation. The Wessex One Health partnership is an example of our commitment to regional collaboration and addressing global health challenges through education and research. You will be part of a supportive and forward-thinking environment where your work makes a real difference to students, partners and the wider public.
