About the Role

We are seeking an exceptional individual to fill the position of Chair of Council at the University of Leicester. This vital role holds the honorary title of Pro-Chancellor and is responsible for the leadership of the Council, the governing body of the University, and ultimately for its effectiveness.

Council is the University's supreme governing body, responsible for taking all final decisions on matters of fundamental concern to the University, including our academic mission, strategic direction, and financial sustainability.

The Chair of Council is responsible for promoting the efficient operation of the Council, ensuring that its members work together effectively and that they, and wider stakeholders, have confidence in the procedures laid down by the University for the proper conduct of public business.

The Chair is also responsible for ensuring that the Council establishes oversight and scrutiny of University leadership, at all times ensuring that the Council conducts its own affairs in accordance with accepted standards of behaviour in public life, embracing selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty, and leadership.

About You

We are looking for an individual who embodies the values of the University, has a proven track record of effective senior leadership at board level in a large, diverse, and complex organisation, and professional experience of a range of factors in the successful operation of large organisations.

You will be an excellent communicator with the ability to network and negotiate effectively and have the ability to deal with differences of opinion in a constructive, diplomatic, and sensitive manner.

Whilst previous experience of management/governance in higher education is not essential, you will have an awareness of the political, economic, and social dynamics of Leicester and the East Midlands and have a commitment to the values, aims, and culture of the University of Leicester.
