The role will mentor and lead these teams through some major changes in the coming years. You will need to be persuasive and diplomatic with the ability to empower and motivate. You will have a deep appreciation of the complexities of higher education administration, particularly in relation to assessment & examinations, but above all we are looking for someone to join our team with the drive and ambition to make a positive difference.

Interviews will be held (in-person) during the week commencing 12 December.
