The HAF is responsible for the effective and efficient day to day non-academic management and administration of the Theology and Religion Faculty. Working in close partnership with the Faculty Board Chair and other senior academic staff, the HAF plays a key role in the Faculty’s strategic and operational planning, designing and implementing Faculty policies and procedures, and ensuring that the Faculty meets divisional and University requirements. The operational duties of the post are wide-ranging and include personnel management of all academicrelated and non-academic support staff, financial management, and the administration of research support activities. The HAF also has oversight of the administrative support of the faculty’s 400 undergraduate and post-graduate students. This is a challenging role requiring excellent organisational skills and experience of financial and personnel management, in addition to strengths in committee servicing and governance, written and oral communication skills, and a firm understanding of academic and research administration. You will work largely independently, and will need to relate well to staff at all levels. There are also opportunities to contribute to Humanities Division and University administration. During the initial period of appointment, the post holder will be expected to work with colleagues from the Faculty and Division to inform the planning and development of the Schwarzman Centre. For more information, contact Mary Fridlington (mary.fridlington@humanities.ox.ac.uk), Deputy Head of Divisional Administration. Responsibilities (a) General management You will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Faculty’s activities and administrative resources, ensuring that all administrative processes run smoothly and efficiently. As part of this you will be responsible for the personnel management of the six other administrative staff of the Faculty. (b) Financial management With the support of the Humanities Division’s shared service finance team, you will be responsible for planning and managing the budget of the Faculty. In 2018/19 the Faculty’s income was £4.7m, including over £420,000 in external research funding. You will be expected to think and act strategically, in order to ensure that Faculty meets or exceeds its financial targets, and that its financial activities are carried out in a way that represents value for money. You will also be responsible for ensuring that financial transactions and procedures within the Faculty are conducted in accordance with the University’s financial regulations. (c) Strategy and Planning You will work closely with the Faculty Board Chair, senior leaders, and relevant faculty committees to develop and implement strategic plans for the Faculty of Theology and Religion. Along with six other faculties, Theology and Religion will move from its current location in the Gibson Building to the purpose-built Schwarzman Centre by 2024, and the post holder will be pivotal to ensuring the Faculty contributes effectively to the development of plans for the new building, and ensuring the smooth transition between the two spaces. Specific duties will include:   Support the development of plans for funding teaching and research in the faculty.

For more information please visit: http://www.humanities.ox.ac.uk/ The Schwarzman Centre The teaching and study of the humanities is so important because it tells the story of what it means to be human - who we are, where we came from, and how our culture, literature and language have developed over time. With over 700 academic staff and 6,000 students, Oxford Humanities leads the world in the breadth and depth of subject coverage and the quality of teaching and research. But don’t just take our word for it - the latest QS World University Rankings placed us at number one. The new Humanities building will take our teaching, research and public engagement to new heights. For the first time in the University’s history, seven humanities faculties will be housed together along with a new library. These disciplines are currently scattered in buildings across Oxford but they will be united in a new building designed to encourage cross-disciplinary study and research. Academics in the building will work together to tackle some of the most pressing questions of our time. As well as a new Institute for Ethics in Artificial Intelligence, they will consider the environment and how society rebuilds after the pandemic. Crucially, the building will be open to the public, and we aim to bring research and performance in the arts and humanities to new audiences. There will be dedicated space for schoolchildren to visit and engage with Oxford’s researchers. There will be exhibition space and three new performance venues for music, theatre, drama, dance, lectures and more. A new Cultural Programme will bring the world's leading performers and artists to Oxford. Our venues will also be open to regional cultural organisations, with whom Oxford researchers will strengthen partnerships.
