**About you**: You are an experienced professional services manager with a track record of leading specialist teams to provide high quality, agile, customer-focused services. You combine advanced expertise, knowledge and understanding of best practice in the design and delivery of effective student administration, support and development across the student journey, with a commitment to promoting innovation and continuous improvement of services. Energetic and resilient, you enjoy working at pace and are comfortable with complexity and uncertainty. You have excellent communication and influencing skills and establish credibility quickly with staff at all levels. You are passionate about higher education and inspire your teams individually and collectively to deliver the best possible support for students.

**About Student and Academic Services**:From the first point of registration to graduation and beyond, our team of over 400 professional staff is committed to enhancing the student experience, and ensuring that every student is able to make the most of the extensive opportunities available throughout their journey. This is enabled by working closely with all areas of the University, the Students’ Union and a wide range of external stakeholders.

We are responsible for developing and maintaining the comprehensive regulatory and quality management and enhancement framework that underpins the University’s academic provision, including support for the academic governance structures. We take responsibility for ensuring that the quality and standards of the University’s awards are maintained and enhanced across the organisation, and in its current and future academic partnerships. We also play an important part in helping our Schools and Colleges develop relevant, sustainable and robust curricula in order to maintain and enhance the quality of learning opportunities available to all students. The development of policy to support our students and their academic endeavours sits within our remit, including areas of student conduct, professional suitability, safeguarding, handling complaints and appeals and responsibility for our Prevent duties.

As part of this, we facilitate the National Student Survey and the University’s internal student engagement strategies.
