Job description

This is an exciting opportunity to join and help shape this newly established team within Planning & Insight. The role will guide and facilitate effective strategic planning within UCLan, helping the University to achieve its strategic objectives and maximise its position within the market. Working collaboratively with other Planning Partners, Faculties, Professional Services and other senior managers within the University, you will pro-actively make connections, identifying challenges and opportunities, and generating commitment in pursuit of the University's strategic objectives.

The successful applicant will have a good honours degree or equivalent significant professional experience.

Applicants must have demonstrable experience of strategic and/or operational planning, plus experience of monitoring and reporting on progress against targets. Drawing on this, you will have an understanding of the issues involved in translating strategic planning into operational planning and sensitivity to the competing demands and viewpoints of stakeholders in this process. The ability to work effectively with colleagues of varying degrees of seniority across the University and secure their commitment to new approaches is essential. With excellent communication skills, including report writing and presenting, you will be skilled in expressing complex information and ideas coherently and succinctly. Proactive and solution-focussed, able to draw on problem solving skills and think beyond the obvious, you will have a flexible approach and a 'can do' attitude.

UCLan values

Company

The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) was founded in Preston in 1828 as the Institution for the Diffusion of Knowledge.  Since those early days it has transitioned into one of the UK’s leading, modern universities with a student body comprising some 120 nations and an overall learning community approaching 38,000. 

Throughout its development ‘Ex solo ad solem’, or in translation, ‘From the Earth to the Sun’, has been its motto – helping talented people from all walks of life to make the most of their potential. Staff at UCLan pride themselves on putting the needs of students at the centre of everything they do and in 2014 this shared core value was highlighted when the University achieved IIP Gold status.   

In 2015 the Centre for World University Rankings placed UCLan in the top 3.8 percent of all worldwide universities and over the coming years UCLan’s £200 million Campus Masterplan development will create a truly world-class educational environment that will propel the University to new levels of excellence.
