Liverpool John Moores University is a proud civic institution, committed to widening participation, social mobility, and delivering education that transforms lives through high-quality teaching, inclusive learning, and strong student outcomes. We are seeking an exceptional senior leader in a newly established role of Director of Academic Registry and Teaching Excellence. We are seeking a values-driven, credible, and influential leader with extensive senior experience in higher education, a deep understanding of the regulatory and policy landscape, and a strong track record of delivering institution-wide change that improves teaching quality, student outcomes, and equality of opportunity. This is a rare opportunity to shape how academic governance, registry services, and learning and teaching excellence work together to advance LJMU’s civic mission and deliver an outstanding, inclusive, and outcomes-focused student experience. Reporting to the Registrar and Chief Operating Officer and the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Student Experience), the postholder will provide strategic, University-wide leadership across Academic Registry, academic quality, and teaching and learning excellence. The role brings together academic governance, registry services, and teaching excellence to ensure that institutional frameworks, systems, and practice work coherently to support student success across the full student lifecycle. The Director will position Academic Registry as a strategic enabler of inclusive teaching, curriculum quality, and student outcomes, ensuring that academic governance, policies, and processes actively support access, continuation, attainment, and progression for all learners.

The Director will oversee the full student lifecycle across undergraduate, postgraduate taught, and postgraduate research provision, including partner delivery, ensuring that registry services, quality frameworks, and digital systems support effective academic delivery and a seamless student experience. They will represent the University with key sector and regulatory bodies, including the OfS, PSRBs, and other national partners.
