In Academic Services at Birmingham City University we are resetting the bar for performance. Our goal as a department is to being recognised not only for the quality of what we do, but as a great place to work and pursue a career. Our work is fast paced, with high levels of demand all year round as we deliver against tight deadlines and stretching targets. You will need to be a creative thinker and relish problem solving, be able to think outside of the box while still understanding its size, shape and purpose. What is vital is that you can demonstrate your commitment to professionalism and excellence, and have a track record of leading teams that deliver great results.
Previous experience of working in a higher education setting is highly advantageous, but there may be exceptional candidates who do not have direct experience of higher education who can clearly demonstrate a high degree of relevance and transferability of their skills and experience.
We are looking to recruit a Director of Faculty Administration (DFA), responsible for strategic leadership and management of the operational and administrative team in one of our four faculties. The successful candidate will demonstrate excellent leadership and management skills and have a track record in building high performing teams through both excellent people management and a focus on KPIs and objectives.
The post holder must be someone educated to degree level (or equivalent). A postgraduate qualification (or comparable experience or sustained and substantial professional development) is preferable, as well as having previous experience of working in a Higher Education environment.
The Director of Faculty Administration role is a career graded role with a salary between £42,961 to £53,648, with the expectation of candidates new to the role or Birmingham City University to start on the lower scale.
Academic Services is dedicated to staff development. In addition to the University’s extensive staff development offering we deliver our own ASPIRE programme focused on supporting our team to excel. You will receive a detailed induction, a buddy or mentor, a supportive 1:1 system, and an annual appraisal. Most of all, you will be joining large, diverse, and supportive team.
