As Head of Administration and Finance I work with the Head of Department on all aspects of strategic and operational planning and governance. I also manage the professional teams that provide services and resources that ensure the safe, effective and sustainable operation of the department, including:

• budgeting, forecasting and financial planning;
• development of business cases and provision of management information;
• all financial activity in the department including purchasing and payments and the operation of a sound financial control framework;
• research grant applications and post-award grant management;
• research facilitation and REF coordination;
• Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) and Athena Swan coordination;
• recruitment and selection and all aspects of HR;
• health and safety;
• building and facilities management;
• capital project delivery;
• IT and digital media services; and
• communications.

I work with staff in the Medical Sciences Divisional Office, senior administrative staff in the central University and other heads of administration and finance. 

This is my second spell in DPAG; I studied here for a BA in Physiological Sciences (1989-1992).  After graduating, I trained as a chartered accountant, and spent several years in strategic and financial roles in the commercial sector.  I joined the University in 2005, and have held a number of roles in Wellington Square, including as Head of Assurance and Risk Management, responsible for the University’s internal audit service and Secretary to the Audit and Scrutiny Committee.
