Programme Assistant

**About the role**



We are seeking a Programme Assistant to support the Ethiopian Wolf
Conservation Programme. EWCP is one of the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit
(WildCRU) flagship long-term research and conservation programmes. WildCRU is
a large research group within the Department of Biology, with over 60 staff
and students (and many more local field support staff).





**About you**



You will work closely with the EWCP Director and team members to provide pro-
active support in a range of administrative matters. You will ensure effective
administration of EWCP projects and will have responsibility for managing day-
to-day EWCP financial and administrative activities at Oxford, liaising with
EWCP offices in Ethiopia. You will monitor EWCP online project trackers,
communicate with field personnel as required, and enter information into the
relevant trackers.





You will demonstrate proven experience in administrative skills, consistently
meeting agreed objectives and taking personal responsibility for getting
things done. You will have excellent communication skills, particularly for
communicating with staff in Ethiopia and Oxford. You will demonstrate strong
financial skills, software proficiency, and the ability to manage and
prioritise your own workload working to strict deadlines.





Although the role is based at Biology Research Administration Building, you
will attend meetings in Tubney House. Willingness to occasionally travel to
project offices in Ethiopia is also desirable.

outputs, please explain this by providing an additional paragraph in your
