Are you an experienced leader, who can demonstrate credibility both academically and managerially? Can you provide the strategic vision and leadership to our large and complex Faculty with a focus on student education? 

The Faculty of Medicine and Health is looking to appoint a Deputy Dean (Student Education). You will work closely with the Executive Dean, Faculty Operations Director, Deputy Faculty Operations Director and Pro-Deans to deliver an agenda which includes developing existing and new partnerships, supporting the operational day-to-day function of the Faculty and working with Heads of School and colleagues to develop the Faculty Education Strategy and drive through the implementation of the refreshed School strategies. 

To meet the challenges of a changing landscape in both Health and Social Care education, we are looking to appoint an individual who can demonstrate leadership and commitment to excellence in student education and who has a proven track record of delivering outstanding educational experiences for students.  Working in partnership with organisations across the Health and Social care system, you will provide strategic leadership and direction which support the Faculty’s ambition in relation to the delivery of the NHS Long Term Workforce plan. 

The role focuses on the implementation of the plans and action associated with the vision and strategies for the Faculty. You will be responsible for coordinating the delivery of key strategic projects, objectives and workstreams. You will have your own portfolio of workstreams, responsibilities and leadership/ membership on relevant Faculty and University committees, and will sit on the cognate joint partnership groups for our NHS teaching Trusts. You will represent the Executive Dean as required at the University Executive Group and its cognate committees. 

A decisive academic leader with a track record of excellent people management skills, you will demonstrate the ability to create long-term strategic goals and their translation into priorities and measurable actions. You will be a role model in delivering successful and sustainable change.
