Harris Manchester College

Harris Manchester is a college of the University of Oxford, with a radical tradition which it continues in the present day. Originally founded in 1786 in Manchester as a dissenting academy, it came to Oxford in 1889, and became a college of the University in 1996, changing its name from Manchester College to Harris

Manchester College at that time. From the start, the College was distinctive in offering higher education to those who were excluded from the established English universities (at that time restricted to Anglicans) or other dissenting academies (often restricted to members of a particular denomination). Women were admitted from 1876, with the result that it was uniquely coeducational on its arrival in Oxford.

The College continues its tradition of radical inclusion today through a unique mission: it is the only college in the University of Oxford dedicated exclusively to admitting and supporting mature students (aged 21 years or over) at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

The College is committed to breaking down the barrier of age in higher education. It provides a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and inclusive ethos, and pursues the highest standard of academic teaching, learning, and research in an environment which is fully supportive of Fellows, staff and students

Like all colleges of the University, Harris Manchester is independent and self-governing under a Royal

Charter. The Governing Body comprises the Principal and a number of Fellows, most of whom hold academic posts in the College or University.

Colleges of the University:

- select and admit undergraduate students, for whose tutorial teaching they are responsible, and select postgraduate students after they are admitted by the University;
- provide accommodation, meals, common rooms, libraries, sports and social facilities, and pastoral care for their students;
- employ academic postholders (often in a joint arrangement with the University) to undertake research and teaching;
- manage their own finances, estates and staffing operations as independent charities, while working in close collaboration with other colleges and the University.

This is an exciting time to join the College, which is currently updating its medium-term strategy, having reviewed and refined its goals and aspirations

The new Clerk of Works will have an opportunity to make a real difference to the College's immediate and long-term development and success.

Overview of the Post

The Clerk of Works is the head of the College’s maintenance department and is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the College’s estate. Reporting to the Bursar, the Clerk of Works will contribute to the development of the College’s buildings strategy, and support the implementation of refurbishment plans and redevelopments of the College’s residential and non-residential buildings. The post holder will be the College’s key interface with a range of external consultants, advisers and contractors, and will be the internal College lead on any significant renovations and building projects.

The Clerk of Works will have responsibility for managing both proactive and reactive maintenance, and developing and implementing a preventive maintenance program for the College. They will also have responsibility for Health & Safety in compliance with legislation and best practice.
