Cambridge, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

Continuing education is currently one of the most exciting, prominent and fastest changing fields in global higher education. The University of Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education (ICE) is an established leader in the field, tracing its roots back to 1873. ICE is based at the historic Madingley Hall campus, four miles west of Cambridge.

ICE currently enrols around 5000 students each year on short courses and undergraduate and postgraduate award-bearing courses. We have ambitious plans to increase student enrolments over the next strategic period.

We wish to appoint a Head of Academic Centre Administration, working collaboratively with academics and administrators from across ICE and the Collegiate University, to create a portfolio of student-centred award-bearing and non-award bearing courses preparing students for success in their subsequent endeavours.

Through administrative leadership the Head of Academic Centre Administration will act to ensure that the course portfolio is thoughtfully and actively developed, and the courses delivered by ICE are of the very highest academic quality, commensurate with the University of Cambridge's reputation as one of the world's leading higher education providers.

The successful applicant will be responsible for line-managing a small administrative team, ensuring that a wide portfolio of courses is effectively delivered. Reporting to the Assistant Director of Academic Centres (Student & Professional Services), the role-holder will manage the administration of course commissioning and course management, develop processes to enhance the student experience and maintain effective financial control of the course portfolio. Working collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders, the successful applicant will ensure that a consistent and high-quality student-focused programme is delivered.
