This new role will support the Oxford Global Health initiative at the University of Oxford and its inaugural Director and Associate Director. It will suit someone with excellent interpersonal skills, strong organisational skills, and the ability to work flexibly, who wants to work in a new, busy, challenging and fast-moving environment supporting the ultimate aim of improving global health.
The Directors of Global Health will operate busy and complex schedules, requiring you to provide active support in helping them conduct their business in a timely and efficient manner.

Together with the Global Health Facilitator, you will contribute administrative support to the establishment and running of a series of projects to further the aims of Oxford Global Health, for example administrative support for the establishment of a network and organising events.
