Requirements

What we're looking for

A relevant education and/or experience in management support.
HBO level of work and thinking.
Experience with organizing, coordinating, and setting priorities.
Good oral and written communication skills.
Good digital skills with Microsoft 365 and Teams and the ability to quickly master new systems.

Experience with management support within a complex organization or a science and research environment is a plus. Substantive knowledge of pharmacy, pharmacology, and toxicology is not required. We primarily find it important that you are curious, make connections quickly, and immerse yourself in the environment in which you work.

The role

Are you a management assistant who thinks ahead, maintains an overview, and enjoys taking independent responsibility? In this role, you will provide tactical and pharmaceutical support to managers, professors, and research groups within a large, versatile department at Radboudumc. You bring structure, connect people, and ensure that appointments and tasks align well.

No two days are the same. You switch between different calendars, meetings, and interests, ensuring that everything runs smoothly. In doing so, you are more than just an organizer: you think ahead, identify bottlenecks, and take the initiative to arrange matters smartly and efficiently. It also requires a sense of proportion and the ability to set priorities. You see what is needed. You will receive plenty of freedom to shape your own work. Within the agreed frameworks, you determine how you schedule your work, set priorities, and approach processes. Precisely because not everything is standardized, you can truly make a difference with your experience and ideas.

What you'll do

What will you do?

Supporting management: you manage complex calendars, schedule appointments, prepare meetings, and monitor the follow-up of action items.
Organizing and coordinating: you ensure that schedules, information, and practical arrangements align well. In doing so, you look beyond an individual appointment. When a change in the calendar has consequences for other appointments, deadlines, or stakeholders, you signal this in a timely manner and think along about suitable solutions.
Collaborating with different target groups: you support tactical managers, professors, and research groups and align your activities with their needs. The basis of the support consists of calendar management, appointment scheduling, and meeting support. Depending on the target group, specific tasks are added. This requires flexibility and the ability to switch quickly between different interests and ways of working.
Taking initiative and improving: you identify bottlenecks, think along about smarter ways of working, and actively contribute to the further professionalization of management support. For example, do you have knowledge of new digital possibilities within Microsoft 365 or Teams? Then you will be given the space to share that knowledge and involve colleagues in this.

Hiring process

Friday is your fixed working day. We would prefer it if you are also available on Monday. The remaining working days will be agreed upon in consultation. After your induction period, there is also room, in consultation, to work (partially) from home.
The first interviews will take place on December 7, 8, or 9, 2026. Please indicate your availability in your motivation letter if applicable.
A shadowing day after your interview is part of the procedure. This will likely take place on December 10, 2026.
A Certificate of Conduct (VOG) is required for this position.

We are recruiting for this vacancy ourselves. We do not appreciate acquisition; however, sharing within your network is welcome.

In their own words

About the company & team

You will work in the Department of Pharmacy, Pharmacology and Toxicology (AFT) at Radboudumc. More than 450 colleagues here work on safe and effective medication use. Patient care, research and education come together, and scientific knowledge is translated into practice. Although we contribute to, among other things, the smooth running of our patient care, this role involves no physical patient contact.

You will be part of the secretariat within the business office. Together with four management assistants, one secretary, and a head of secretariat, you form a close-knit and professional team. Everyone has their own area of focus, but collaboration is central. We coordinate activities, replace each other where necessary, and help each other to organize the work well.

You will join a committed team where professional work is carried out, but where there is also room for personal contact, humor, and attention to one another. We drop in on each other easily, think along with each other, and look for solutions together. You will be given the trust to work independently, but you will never stand alone.

AFT is a large and versatile department. Therefore, we do not expect you to know everything and everyone from day one. We provide a good induction period in which you get to know the organization, your field of work, and the people you work with. Additionally, we offer you the space to think along with a fresh perspective on how we can organize our support even more smartly and in a future-proof manner.

You maintain an overview, think ahead, and see work that needs to be done before others ask for it. Proactivity is second nature to you: you do not wait around, but take action when you see that something can be done better, smarter, or more efficiently.

You sense what different people need, set the right priorities, and continue to work carefully when plans change or multiple matters occur simultaneously. You take responsibility for your own work, communicate clearly, and handle confidential information with discretion.
