The Academic Registrar's Department is responsible for the management and delivery of an effective and efficient academic administration service for the University. Responsibilities of the department include academic quality and standards, student administration, and operational support to the University's three Colleges.

Reporting to the Academic Registrar, with a dotted reporting line to the Head of College (with whom you will be working with on a day-to-day basis), you will be responsible for providing an effective interface between the University and College management and governance structures and for directing the effective business operations of the College, driving continuous improvement in the provision of academic administration services to deliver the College's strategic objectives. Working collaboratively with relevant Professional Service departments, these responsibilities will include business and resource planning, portfolio planning, estates and facilities planning, risk management, liaison with professional and statutory bodies, annual monitoring, local student complaints management, and the provision of strategic and operational support to the Head of College and the senior College team. As a member of both the Academic Registrar's Department Executive Group and the College Executive Group, you will ensure a joined-up approach to the University's academic administration functions.

You will have substantial experience in a leadership and management role in a higher education academic administration environment, with particular experience of strategic business support in a Faculty, School or Departmental management context. You will be highly motivated and credible, with clarity of thought and outstanding written and oral communication skills. You will have experience of leading and motivating a diverse team.
