The opportunity
The University of the Arts London’s (UAL), emergent Fashion, Textiles and Technology Institute (FTTI), builds on the delivery of a £5.9m AHRC Creative Research & Development Partnership (CRDP) funding award (2018-24), the Business of Fashion, Textiles and Technology (BFTT), as part of the successful UKRI Creative Industry Cluster Programme (CICP).
FTTI is hosted at the new UAL estate for London College of Fashion at East Bank – a new powerhouse for creativity and learning in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, providing unprecedented opportunity to UAL to develop state-of-the-art provision for research and innovation.
FTTI has established strong relationships with East Bank neighbours including University College London; University of Loughborough; Queen Mary University London; the V&A; and the British Council, each in support of cross-disciplinary working, and collaborative R&D aligned to specialist research provision from across UAL and industry partnerships.
We are looking for an experienced, motivated and organised operations assistant to join FTTIs growing team. A key member of the team, the operations assistant will work closely with the Institute Manager to support the day to day running of the Institute, be the first port of call for requests from partners and external stakeholders and provide project administration support for strategic global R&D.
About you
The ideal candidate will have experience of working in an HEI environment, with strong attention to detail, project management experience, a collaborative working approach and be comfortable working in a team and individually. You will be able to use your initiative and organise your work to achieve objectives on time. The role will require extensive use of finance and Microsoft systems (REX, Excel, Word), and so experience working in a financial, administrative or research department at a HEI would be extremely desirable.
