You will lead on the planning and delivery of the Registry and Academic Affairs department’s programmes and projects in line with overarching strategy. In addition, you will provide leadership and supportive management to the department to foster a culture of high performance and student-centred service excellence. 

To be successful you must possess excellent stakeholder management skills with emotional intelligence to work with the breadth of colleagues across the University and with external partners.

Job share arrangements may be considered.  Please specify in your application if you wish to work less than full time and the preferred number of hours.  This position is offered on a fixed term contract to 31 July 2025. This opportunity has become available due to the secondment of the substantive role holder to lead a university strategic programme.
