Research Support Administrator

Full Time (37 hour per week) – Permanent – Location: High Wycombe

Salary - £26,093 - £28,778

We’re not trying to fit in with the higher education status quo. We’re challenging it. We’re doing things differently – because our students, our staff, and our world need us to.

So this is an exciting moment to join us. We’re boldly reimagining what a university can be: a place rooted in social mobility, a community where difference is celebrated, and an institution that empowers people to become more than they thought possible.

Join Buckinghamshire New University’s Research & Knowledge Exchange Office and play a key role in supporting research activity across the institution. You will provide administrative support throughout the research funding lifecycle, helping academics develop and submit funding applications, coordinating peer review processes, maintaining research databases, and supporting successful projects through post-award management.

The role also contributes to the University’s Research Excellence Framework (REF) activities and provides financial and compliance support for research grants, audits, and reporting. Working closely with academic, professional services, and finance colleagues, you will help ensure excellent service, regulatory compliance, and accurate record keeping.

We are seeking a highly organised and detail-focused professional with experience in research support, research funding, or financial administration within a higher education environment. Strong numerical, communication, and IT skills, particularly in Excel, are essential, along with the ability to manage competing priorities and work collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders

What we offer:

a generous holiday entitlement (30 days per annum, plus bank holidays & closure days)
Hybrid working (dependent on business needs)
training & development support opportunities
contributory pension scheme
free gym membership for our on-site gym
a range of staff discounts with major retailers.

All applications are to be made in full and online.

We are committed to promoting an inclusive and diverse workplace and aim to continue building an environment where everyone thrives and can be themselves.

Please let us know if you require any adjustments or support during the recruitment process. We are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments that would enable you to perform to the best of your abilities in your role. Please reach out to the People team on [email protected] if you have any specific needs or if you would like more information on how we can support you

We ensure that our interview/shortlisting Chairs complete the relevant e-learning and/or inclusive recruitment training.

If you’re considering using AI to support your application, we encourage you to question the value it adds. The use of AI tools sometimes erodes authenticity and prevents us from being able to assess the real you. We strongly recommend you prepare your application using your own skills and knowledge and that AI is only used for the purpose of review.

Closing Date: 16 August 2026

Interview Date: w/c 24 August 2026

If you are invited to interview for this role, you will need to provide evidence of your eligibility to work in the UK and if on a visa, current visa and status. Sponsorship is dependent on the salary level of the position therefore due to the salary for this post, we are unable to offer visa sponsorship to the successful candidate.

BNU is a Disability Confident employer and as such you will be given the opportunity to declare a disability as part of the application process.
