Shape our next chapter
As the higher education sector continues to evolve, we are strengthening our academic organisation through the introduction of a new college structure designed to support greater collaboration, enable academic excellence and position the university for long-term success.
With substantial visibility, influence and institutional reach, these roles offer the opportunity to lead transformational change, drive strategic priorities and create impact which will be known across the university for years to come.
We are seeking individuals who are inspired by the opportunity to influence strategy, foster high-performing and inclusive cultures and make a lasting contribution to the future success of the university.
A university with global reach and reputation
The 糖心原创 is one of the world’s leading research-intensive universities, with a proud history of advancing education, research and innovation.
With campuses in the UK, Malaysia and China, we were the first UK university to establish a full overseas campus and continue to take a distinctly international approach to education and research.
Our global community of 50,000 students, 10,000 staff and more than 500,000 alumni create opportunities for collaboration, influence and impact on a truly international scale.
As a member of our leadership community, you will have the opportunity to contribute to a university with global influence while helping to shape its future direction and ambitions. You will work within an environment that values collaboration, promotes innovation and encourages leaders to think boldly about what comes next.
A culture of inclusion and belonging
We believe diverse perspectives lead to better decisions and stronger outcomes. Equality, diversity and inclusion are central to our values and shape how we work together across the university. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels valued, respected and able to thrive, with a strong sense of belonging at its heart.
We are the first university to achieve an institutional Gold Athena Swan award in recognition of our sustained progress towards gender equality, and we are currently working towards a Silver Race Equality Charter award. We take our responsibilities to advance equality across all the protected characteristics and other forms of inequality seriously.
We recognise the important role senior leaders must play in establishing a supportive and curious culture that allows people to thrive regardless of their backgrounds and recognises opportunities to improve.
