About the role
As the new Vice-Chancellor & CEO, you will provide the vision and leadership required to ensure the future prosperity and success of Bishop Grosseteste University. Building upon existing strengths and areas of specialism, you will ensure the University continues to deliver transformative education with social purpose and in line with our mission to support access to higher education.
You will champion BGU’s compelling vision and identity and will be accountable for the strategic direction, priorities and targets of the University, in collaboration with the University Council and Executive Group. You will be expected to inspire people and teams, be a visible presence, and build effective relationships with staff and students across the University.
Furthermore, you will uphold an inclusive culture for both staff and students focused on high performance across all areas of the University’s core activities and business.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for someone with an excellent track record of operating successfully as a strategic leader in the UK education sector and within an organisation of comparable size and complexity.
You will bring experience of managing, developing and inspiring talented staff in multi-skilled roles to perform to their highest standard, whilst driving a culture of commitment, innovation and engagement aligned to our organisational values.
Knowledge of the Higher Education sector, especially experience of working practices in a smaller HE institution, the development of an academic portfolio that includes partnerships, online and apprenticeship delivery, and understanding of academic research would be advantageous.
You will have experience of implementing and delivering strategy and strategic change, and monitoring plans against KPIs. Ideally, you will have had experience of organisational and financial turnaround and be skilled in driving efficiencies that balance core academic activities with the wider business needs of the University.
You will be an exceptional communicator, with the skills to influence and establish trust and credibility with a range of stakeholders, internally and externally. You will have experience of building and maintaining partnerships that support the sustainability and growth of an organisation, whilst maintaining quality and compliance with regulatory frameworks.

Company
BGU offers undergraduate, postgraduate and work-based foundation degree courses, with an emphasis on enriching the lives of its students, staff and the community it serves. BGU began life in 1862 as an Anglican teacher training college for women. In 1962 it was renamed Bishop Grosseteste College in honour of Robert Grosseteste, the thirteenth century scientist, philosopher, educator, and Bishop of Lincoln. In 2012, following a successful application for taught degree awarding powers we became an official University, Bishop Grosseteste University. The past few years have seen a considerable growth in student numbers, with just over 2,100 students studying here. We have a strong background in teaching but are currently developing our many other courses and launching brand new for 2015/16 degrees including Counselling, Sociology and Health and Social Care. The University still occupies its single site in uphill Lincoln and although the original Victorian buildings are still in daily use, they have been extensively extended and refurbished. Today the attractive I8-acre campus houses many modern developments, including purpose-built learning and teaching accommodation, two brand new eateries, and a fully equipped Sport and Fitness Centre as well as facilities for drama, an on-campus cinema and a brand new library complex.
