Overview:


As a Junior Dean, you will work collaboratively with other Junior Deans (commonly a team of 3) to support the Programme Director in ensuring the overall success of an elite summer programme.

The focus of the role is on the implementation of a busy activity timetable made up of activities and events outside the classroom, which you will achieve through leading a team of Counsellors with thorough and professional planning.

This role would suit a natural leader and communicator who is highly organised, self motivated and resilient.

The role involves a large degree of planning as well as the need for clear delegation and communication with your team.

Student Experience:


  • Gain a comprehensive understanding of the whole twoweek timetable and develop an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Oxford Royale activity options and events.
  • Implement with excellence all activities, events and coach excursions using Oxford Royale's planning methods and expectations regarding the quality of student experience. Plan and prepare all activities with detail and accuracy, use and adapt the risk assessments and communicate the plans with clarity to the team.
  • Strive for the highest quality of service to exceed the students' high expectations.

Collaboration and Leadership:


  • Collaborate with the Programme Coordinator and Programme Director daily to ensure that there is a regular flow of information through all staff members. Regularly brief the Programme Director on what actions have been taken and what the plans are going forward.
  • Lead and mentor Counsellors, providing support in managing the students and clarity over daily duties, responsibilities and areas on which to develop.
  • Provide effective leadership in resolving challenges with a professional and efficient approach.

Administration, Systems and Compliance:


  • Manage day to day payments and receipts.
  • Complete risk assessments and event planning paperwork.
  • Manage daily student registers.
  • Write reports on all programme incidents.

Position Details:


  • Working hours will be approximately 50 per week across 6 days. This includes morning, afternoon, and night shifts as assigned by Campus Management.
