The Senior Regulatory Lawyer and Deputy Clerk to the Board will lead the provision of regulatory legal advice to the University and the Board across a diverse remit. In addition, the postholder will hold the formal role of Deputy Clerk to the Board and as part of their duties, will ensure that the Board and all its members and Committees have full clerking support at all times.
The University Board
The Board oversees the strategic development of the University and ensures the effective use of resources and the general solvency of the institution.
Led by an externally appointed Chair, the Board comprises members from within higher education, industry, and commerce as well as representatives of the students and academic and professional services staff.
The Vice-Chancellor and certain members of the University Executive Team are Board Members.
There are six sub-committees that report to the Board, including:
- Audit, Risk, and Governance
- Finance and Resources
- Remuneration
- Nominations
- Student Experience, Quality, and Standards
The Role
The Senior Regulatory Lawyer and Deputy Clerk to the Board will work across the University and directly with the University Executive Team (UET), and Heads of Faculties and Services, to lead on and deliver high-quality specialist legal advice with a regulatory focus and a fully compliant corporate governance function.
This role will lead on the provision of specialist legal advice to enable the University to operate compliantly within regulatory frameworks, including:
- Office for Students (OfS)
- Consumer Protection Law
- Charity Law
