The University of Strathclyde’s Directorate of Safety, Wellbeing and Resilience are seeking to appoint an experienced administrator to provide support for the programme of work to develop, maintain and implement the University’s Risk and Business Continuity Management frameworks.
As part of a small team building the University’s resilience capability, the Risk and Resilience Administrator will be responsible for responding to first line enquiries and provision of initial advice in a professional manner, operating a variety of IT systems to assist the efficient operation of the Risk and Resilience function and supporting the development of processes including documentation, training and exercises for implementation across the University.
