The post holder will need to have had substantial experience in people, procedural and team change management, along with detailed knowledge and experience of developing and maintaining modern and up to date standards of performance in an increasingly digital environment which can match the ever changing social and legislative requirements placed on the service.

The post holder will be experienced in the production and development of risk-based site security planning and its interaction with the wider organisational business continuity plans. It is also essential that the post holder is able to proactively work with other colleagues in the continuous improvement modelling of these services delivered to enhance the staff, student and visitor experience.

The post holder should have a full working knowledge and experience in the implementation and development of EDI initiatives and policies.
