A pioneering business project at Queen’s University is seeking to fill eight different positions.
The recruitment drive follows the £13.9 million opening of the newly-refurbished Riddel Hall as a cutting edge business and management centre.
The state-of-the-art facility includes a leading Management School, a Graduate School and a Leadership Institute to meet the needs of global and local business.
The Grade B listed, three-storey building is situated on Belfast’s Stranmillis Road and Queen’s is the first university in the UK and Ireland to open a facility of this kind.
The posts’ advertised in JobFinder today include positions with the university for managers, customer hosts, a clerical officer and a media support officer.
There are also opportunities for an accommodation office supervisor and a reception supervisor.
Employment and Learning Minister Dr Stephen Farry congratulated the university on the completion of the project.
He said: “To support our economy we need to further develop management and leadership skills in Northern Ireland.”
“The redevelopment of Riddel Hall acknowledges Queen’s University’s commitment to ensure that it stays at the forefront of business and management education in the United Kingdom, and enhances its worldwide reputation as a high-class centre for teaching and learning.””
“The new facility will provide a Leadership Institute and Management School which aligns with my Department’s focus on developing management and leadership skills within our economy.”
In a revolutionary move, part of the project has been provided by The Founder’s Club, a group of Northern Ireland and international businesses with bases in the province.
Businesses can avail of recognition on a plaque, naming rights to a room or space, access to the university’s leadership and international networks, including India and China, access to sources of future employment, executive MBA scholarships and priority access and preferential rates for conferences or training sessions.
Opening Riddel Hall, former Irish President, Mary McAleese said: “This will become the backdrop for peace with prosperity.””
“We want people here to flourish, we don’t want people mired in debt, mired in unemployment, mired with lack of opportunity.”
