About us:

- The OfS is the statutory regulator for higher education in England. Its aim is to ensure that every student, whatever their background, has a fulfilling experience of higher education that enriches their lives and careers. It does so by regulating the higher education providers on its register to make sure they are delivering high quality courses and positive outcomes for their students; where they are not, it takes action.
- The higher education sector in England is complex and diverse and the OfS’s approach to regulation recognises this. Its new strategy signals a shift from an organisation in a start-up phase to an established regulator that understands its regulatory tools and how best to use them to shape incentives across the sector it regulates.
- This post is a senior member of OfS staff, providing leadership and coordination across the organisation on behalf of the Chief Executive. The postholder must be highly credible within the OfS and with external stakeholders.
- Purpose
- We are looking for an exceptional Chief of Staff to drive the Chief Executive’s agenda within and beyond the organisation. In order to do this, the Chief of Staff will need to build and maintain strong and lasting relationships with OfS staff, officials in the Department for Education and across the higher education sector.- As part of driving the Chief Executive’s agenda, this role is responsible for coordinating and driving the activity and culture of the OfS’s executive team. The Chief of Staff will also need to be able to support the Chief Executive’s work by providing high quality, well reasoned advice and briefings, and following up quickly and appropriately across the full range of issues, at pace.

- You are an effective communicator both in writing and verbally, able to present and articulate ideas fluently and confidently to influence and persuade, including in relation to sensitive political and individual issues.-
- You build strong and lasting relationships with senior stakeholders and staff and you command the confidence of the Chief Executive and Chair.-
- You command high levels of credibility within and beyond the Office for Students.-
- You are a coordinator with strong project management skills, able to bring order to the world around you.-
- You are motivated to work in a dynamic, high stakes environment with a demanding workload.-
