We are lookingfor a dynamic, effective and credible individual to help us on the next stage of our plans for growth. The team is responsible for managing and developing the Group's governance framework in a highly regulated and competitive higher education environment.

The University is an exempt charity, and has a group structure that includes academic and commercial subsidiaries, and a community interest company. It also sponsors a multi-academy trust. Consequently, knowledge and experience of governance and company secretarial duties in different sectors would be advantageous.
