Executive 5 year contract.

The University of New England (UNE), Armidale is a regionally based, globally networked university that is renowned for the quality of its student experience and the excellence of its research specialisations. Currently there are over 26,000 students (84% of whom are distance/online students) and approximately 1,200 academic and general staff.

Right from its inception as Australia’s first regional university, UNE has consistently redefined what a university is. UNE’s first Vice-Chancellor, Sir Robert (Bert) Madgwick, believed the University’s job is “to find out what people want… and never start with what the University thinks they need.” His personal mission was to help ordinary people to respond to a rapidly changing world for the purpose of empowering society.

In 2020, UNE underwent a comprehensive organisational change. Our new strategic plan, Future Fit, commits us to providing our students with personalised lifelong learning journeys, in line with Madgwick’s vision and founding goal of UNE being a leading regional university that empowers its communities and supports resilience in its people. This is a remarkable and exciting time to be part of UNE and the University is thrilled to announce we are currently recruiting for an Executive Principal to provide strategic leadership to our Student Experience division.

The Executive Principal Student Experience is tasked with improving and developing the student experience at UNE, oversees the UNE Library and leads engagement with the community and industry sectors relevant to the delivery of a rich, meaningful student experience aligned with the objectives of Future Fit strategic plan.
