About Us

The King’s community is dedicated to the service of society. King’s Strategic Vision 2029 sets out our vision for the future, shaped around five priority areas: educate to inspire and improve; research to inform and innovate; serve to shape and transform; a civic university at the heart of London; and an international community that services the world. Our ambitious Education Strategy sets out the actions that we must take to transform how we teach, how and where our students learn and how we support them during their time with us.

At King’s College London the Student Transition & Outcomes Department support student success by making King’s a more equitable and compassionate place to study. Recognising the differential outcomes that students currently experience we partner with staff and student leaders to close gaps in student success and to improve attainment, completion and experience.

About the role

The Head of Student Outcomes will lead and manage a high performing team to deliver a whole-institution strategy to improve outcomes for underrepresented groups with a focus on closing the attainment gaps, the transition and success of students from underrepresented backgrounds and the continuous development of student leadership programmes. The role will focus on developing faculty specific interventions and implement strategies to improve their outcomes and evaluate effectiveness of different interventions.

A departmental lead within the Students and Education Directorate; or

Project/programme/departmental lead within an academic faculty; or

the lead of defined divisional-wide initiatives

Heads of/Senior Managers work within and across teams and functions, engaging with a wide range of colleagues across King’s. They contribute and lead on activities which positively impact the student experience. This includes ensuring:

Efficient resource utilisation and organisation of work resources within their department (or project)

Proactive engagement with service users and stakeholders to facilitate mutually effective working relationships

Their department (or project) embeds a culture of service, transparency and continuous improvement
