This is a great opportunity to apply your broad experience across organisational development while contributing to programmes and processes that support colleagues across Brunel.
You will join a team with opportunities to contribute ideas, develop your skills and help us continuously improve our OD services across learning and development, induction, wellbeing, EDI, colleague engagement and University-wide projects.
Working across the OD and EDI teams, you will provide customer focused, high-quality administrative and operational support, helping to ensure that programmes, systems, communications and activities run smoothly and provide a positive experience for colleagues.
You will play a key role in bringing learning and colleague support to life: organising learning and development programmes, activities and events; coordinating colleague induction and onboarding; supporting completion of mandatory training; and supporting and organising wellbeing and engagement activities.
As the first point of contact for colleagues’ and managers’ day-to-day queries, you will answer enquiries, coordinate bookings and enrolments, maintain accurate learning records, and prepare communications and resources, alongside producing routine reports and management information.
You will also support the administration of Oracle and Brunel’s learning systems, providing data and reports, and help review, align and improve administrative processes as we transition to a new Oracle Learning and Talent System.

Above all, you are proactive, dependable and well organised, bringing a customer-focused, responsive approach and a commitment to accurate, high-quality service.
