Opportunity

This role offers an exciting opportunity to join the QMO as we build a refocussed Office to implement the step change in the way the University assures, monitors and manages academic quality to meet the evolving external regulatory environment.

We are looking for an engaging and confident individual to play an important contribution to the development of the Quality Management Office, and to support its day-to-day work in providing an excellent service in its area of responsibilities.

So what will the role involve?

The QMO has been structured as two mutually supporting teams, the Quality Programme Performance Support Team and the Quality Standards Team.

The successful applicant, based within the Quality Standards Team, will support key aspects of academic quality policy and processes such as programme approval and amendment, academic appeals and student complaints and act as a link between the Office and Schools.

You will provide detailed advice and guidance to staff, students and external parties on the development, operation, monitoring and review of the regulations, policies and procedures contained within the University's Academic Handbook.

Experience of working in an administrative role within a quality assurance or teaching and learning environment within Higher Education will be needed, alongside strong stakeholder engagement skills and proven track record in delivering outstanding customer service.

You should have experience of servicing academic committees and student facing panels, together with solid report writing skills.

A sound understanding of policies and procedures that underpin quality assurance, management and enhancement within the higher education sector is essential.

This will be an exciting role in a fast-paced team.

A bit about the Quality Management Office

The QMO provides a focus within the University for the management of the quality and standards of the University's awards.

The work of the Office supports key strategic aims in academic improvement, growth and diversification, and internationalisation by ensuring that quality management policies and procedures are robust and effective in securing and monitoring the standards of academic awards.

The Office manages key academic quality processes including programme approval; programme evaluation, review and enhancement; and partnerships and collaborative provision for taught programmes including apprenticeship provision.

It also interfaces with Schools in establishing performance targets, monitoring assessments and verification activities and supporting program and course reviews through assistance in data analysis and root cause analysis.
