The University is excited to announce that it has now launched a recruitment campaign for a variety of senior leadership opportunities open to current staff.

Associate Pro Vice-Chancellors

We are looking to appoint six Associate Pro Vice-Chancellors (0.4FTE) to lead the delivery of our three strategic themes:

The roles offer a significant internal leadership opportunity, at a time of huge excitement and progress within the University. Each theme will have a pair of collaborate co-leads, and the expectation is that the roles will be filled by staff with significant experience and passion for these areas, who can evidence leadership and the ability to ensure progress is actioned and realised.

We encourage applications from both Academic and Professional Service colleagues. The role holders will become members of the University Leadership Group and report to the respective Pro Vice-Chancellor most closely aligned to each theme.

We expect the positions to be filled by Grades 8-9 members of staff. If you are interested in the role, we ask that you discuss your application with your manager.

International Special Envoys

As part of the International Engagement and Impact Core Plan, we are looking to appoint ten International Special Envoys (0.2FTE).

These roles are key in leading our efforts to develop new relationships and build strategic partnerships in a variety of key regions and markets. Following the appointment of Professor Bana Vaidhyanathan and Dr Kirti Ruikar as the first Special Envoys for India and South Asia last year, we are excited to appoint a greater number of staff to pursue these ambitions.

This new group of International Special Envoys will continue to develop our international ambitions, in regions where they have expertise and experience. We anticipate and encourage applications from both academic and professional service colleagues. Due to the advanced nature of these roles, we would expect these positions to be filled by members of staff currently in roles at Grade 7 or above.

There will be a pair of special envoys per region for the following (envisaged specific markets of interest are included in brackets):

  • North America (USA and Canada)
