Academic Registrar

As one of the youngest universities in the UK, the University of Northampton has a forward-thinking approach to student experience and a strongly applied outlook. A University driven by a sense of social purpose, the University strives to realise its ambition of transforming lives for the better and inspiring positive change. The University has enjoyed a number of successes in recent years; the opening of a purpose-built new University campus, a Gold TEF outcome, a Social Enterprise Gold Mark, and was the first institution in the UK to be named a ‘Changemaker Campus’. This is therefore an exciting time to be joining the University of Northampton.

The University of Northampton is a place where innovation and being bold about what it does and how it does it is encouraged and expected. Northampton has a sector leading track record of innovation. The new Academic Registrar will be expected to keep driving the University to be even bolder and more ambitious. Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, the Academic Registrar is a member of the University Leadership Team, participates in the institutional management of the University and plays a leadership role that inspires staff and students; promotes learning and the enhancement of the University's stature and reputation; and exemplifies the University's culture and values.

Building on wider changes to the function, the new Academic Registrar will be tasked with the innovation and integration of the student experience, ensuring the successful delivery of the new student record system. In addition, they will be responsible for developing a culture of continuous improvement and ensuring the delivery of best practice academic regulations and quality management.
