We are committed to providing opportunities for all and have been transforming lives in London and further afield for over 120 years. We are part of a diverse group comprising London South Bank University, University Academies and Colleges and an enterprise centre. We take pride in the value that our degree programmes add, the employability and success of our graduates and the impact of our world-leading applied research.

To build on our strengths and position us best for future success, we are currently undergoing an academic re-shaping exercise, which involves combining eight schools of study into three Colleges, each with three or four Schools within them. This will facilitate enhanced strategic leadership across related subject areas, promote synergies between teaching and research, and provide a strong platform for sustainable growth. Our new three-College structure will come into being in January 2025.

The College of Technology and Environment (CTE) will bring together our existing academic activity across engineering, architecture and planning, built environment and computer science. CTE will offer the opportunity to build on our existing interdisciplinary strengths in education and research, underpinned by a commitment to the environment, and with a vision of substantial growth in the future.

The College will deliver a diverse and industry relevant education portfolio across four Schools to equip the leaders of tomorrow with the technical and professional skills required to design, build and engineer our future. All of our courses carry recognised professional accreditation, and we have excellent graduate prospects across our disciplines. We also have one of the largest cohorts of degree apprentices in built environment and engineering in the country, working with over 200 employers. We strive for an excellent student experience within a diverse, welcoming and inclusive community where student success is our priority.

We are now seeking a College Director of Operations for the College of Technology and Environment. The new Director will support the Executive Dean and College Executive Committee in effective planning, decision-making, and identification of strategic opportunities. They will have the opportunity to oversee the development and implementation of strategic plans, ensuring these align with the wider University strategies and planning cycles. We’re looking for candidates with substantial administrative experience and understanding of administrative policy and practice, preferably within the Higher Education sector. Candidates will have ability to successfully undertake the management of significant and complex projects and will be required to complete a coaching and mentoring qualification (if not already completed).

At LSBU, you’ll get to contribute to a vibrant and dynamic culture, which is fuelled by purpose, built around people, and genuinely diverse. You’ll be trusted and recognised for your unique contribution.

You will be part of a great team, turning your passion into purpose.

The closing date for applications, which should be in the form of a CV and cover letter and sent to lsbucdotech@minervasearch.com is 18 December 2024
